Cash and Cash Equivalents [Abstract] |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash balances held by our wholly owned subsidiaries as well as cash held by joint ventures that we consolidate. Joint venture and the Aspire project cash balances are limited to specific project activities and are not available for other projects, new acquisitions and joint ventures, general cash needs or distribution to us without approval of the Board of Directors of the respective entities. The cash and cash equivalents held in consolidated joint ventures and the Aspire project are expected to be used for their respective project costs and distributions of earnings. The components of our cash and cash equivalents balance are as follows:
