With all due respect, how many things do we purchase that eventually pay for themselves even after a hundred years? If it pays for itself after ten years, I would think it is still a good investment, especially if you hold it for past ten years!
Cars, heaters, hot water tanks, air conditioners, refrigerators ... never return an kind of value, yet we purchase them and don't bellyache about how long it took to pay for itself because they don't.
I understand that point, but it's not the same thing. In Indianpolis there's a group that wants to supply an all electric car rental (details can be found in the paper, way to much to go into here), however, the electric company wants to charge ALL customers for the investment in the cars and charging stations. Now if the electric company was building new substation etc I might, I said might see their point. However, the base point was: "do they ever get to the point of a return?".
