Did you not read? They paid dividends worth over $800 million dollars last year. Case closed.

Also, side note since you seem unaware. Eversource in other states is separate operationally. That’s one reason why the performance of the company in say, NH, is better then in CT. They’re essentially joined at the very top, holding company level.

I understand what you’re saying, but you’re either too young to remember or have forgotten that 20 or more years ago, restoration for similar storms with similar amounts of outages took several hours to days at most, not weeks.

There is no guesswork here. It’s not conjecture. We have seen better in this state and it’s a direct comparison to past recoveries.

You’re using a baseline that is also shit. You’re assuming the restoration plan was “good enough”. There are no diminishing returns lmao. Line workers don’t become less productive the more of them there are.

Exemplary? By what metric?? Just about every other state has moved faster and had less outages.

By the way, the reason we had more outages IS NOT because the storm was more intense here then other states. It’s because Eversource doesn’t maintain their poles and lines, or trim properly, or staff properly.

Idiotic. You’re argument is analogous to this:

“There is no scenario where you can drive Boston to NYC instantly, so even if you drive normal highway speeds it will still take hours to get there.”

So you’re saying we should blame Eversource for driving 5 MPH for that trip? Because that’s what they do. They’ve gutted themselves in the name of regulatory avoidance and profit. All you need to do is look at how quickly other utilities in other states restore power when they have the same number of outages.

Enough with the Eversource apologies. May the entire board rot in hell.

Actually the article says we’re second after MA for school quality.

Forbes tried to mix it up this year and calculate “safety”. With some arbitrary methodology that includes stupid shit like safety officers. I think it’s the other way around, if a school doesn’t need the fake police standing around it’s safer then one that does.

So yeah we’re 2nd after MA.

Edit: Oh. So Forbes literally is pulling a Wallethub ranking lmao. They don’t even do this themselves anymore.

So they’ve gone with the brilliant analysis of the A-grade statistical site, Wallethub.
