<p>[quote user="466lex"]The PTC mandate was established by a technologically illiterate body (aka, Congress). The FRA, charged by Congress to oversee the implementation of PTC, recognizes, much to FRA’s credit, the stupendous complexity of the undertaking and the dubious likelihood of meeting the mandate, and has so advised Congress. (See, again, <a href="http://www.fra.dot.gov/eLib/Details/L03718">http://www.fra.dot.gov/eLib/Details/L03718</a>)</p> <p>Again, I suggest, read it and weep.[/quote]</p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">I think you sum it up very well. Likewise, in reading the FRA report, it strikes me that they have succeeded in adding up trees to depict the forest. No detail is insurmountable, but it is just that there are so many of them. Of course, the deadline will not be meant, but that is probably the least of the problems. </span> </p>
