By the time this project gets completed, if ever (what's the estimate? 20 years? 30?), the rules will probably be completely different, so I wouldn't be too concerned at this point.
We’re thinking 30 years right now as we’re making sure we get all reference material required. That may change, but it’s the most realistic estimate at this point.
