[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Junctionfan Ontario passed a bill under the conservatives to allow similar things to happen. Brock University for example, has its own power plant and sell excess power to the city of St.Catharines which in turn lowers its property taxes. Is this amendment eradicatable? Would this be something politically reasonable because think how much revenue Amtrak's NEC could muster. [/quote]To answer your question, yes it is changeable and can be vacated by an act of congress. The problem is that to do this would involve many private and public vested interests that have grown up over the past 60 or so years and have become quite happy with the status quo. To make such a change would require a very large dose of political courage, a gracious plenty of economic persuasion, a large helping of pure salemanship rivaling Ben Feldman or P.T. Barnum and a passion for change on the order of the desire to live free. Railroads and legal monopolies what a natural partnership.
