Well - generally I agree with you. But if the alternative is no electrification and 83 IC4 train sets that will probarly never be running the way they were supposed to as well as overcrowded, out dated regional train sets carrying commuters back and forth with delays I think we will see that the best long term economic solution would be to get those power lines up above the rail tracks as soon as possible - and if this is quickest established through pensions funds then go ahead IMHO.
