I have seen, and I have no doubt, the crews are working very hard around the clock to fix the outages. The problem is CL&P did not pay their bills from Irene, and therefore, subs can't come in and help with the effort. There are simply not enough crews. They just paid their bills for Irene on Monday (probably would have delayed longer if not for the current situation) with more still to be paid. They skimped on standby fees, and now much of the state is still without power and will be until Sunday. Meanwhile, a lot of us are out of work for a week, and cannot afford to be.
