Eversource is profiting $1 billion a year while doing nothing to fi...

DTUBE Film Summary

So for the second straight week basically my part of town got hit by a small storm, 40-50 mph winds and a few inches of rain and another with about a foot of snow. Of course the power for both these events was out for 4 days. So combined that is 8 days without power in a roughly two week period.

My problem with this is, Eversource is pulling in about 1 billion per year in profits and not doing the bare minimum maintenance required to keep the lights on during a little wind. At the same time they are trying to pass a VMP plan to spray all the high tension lines with pesticides and herbicides. Basically Eversource is too concerned with their profits to show any kind of business ethics. They would prefer to poison their customers than hire a few more people to hand prune the trees.

On top of that Eversource is granted a government backed monopoly on the power in my area. They are abusing this power and using their monopoly status to line their pockets with our money, while at the same time they can't keep the lights on.

I was told today by a worker in Mashpee Commons that Eversource emp,employees were there bragging about how there was so much chaos the company could not keep track of them and they were all goofing off, whilst at the same time my neighborhood has live wires still down and homes without power in a neighborhood full of kids for four days. Does this seem legit to you?

I say we force Eversource to do their damn jobs. Bury the power lines like a modern society, and harden the grid for EMP. Eversource's profits last year are the estimated cost for 1/5 the cost of hardening the grid. I say we force them to harden 1/5 of the grid next year. A company that is a government backed monopoly should not be allowed to turn 988 million in profits when they are not doing their job. The power grid system is extremely old and outdated.

Don't forget to write them letters to stop them spraying the cape. Article: https://steemit.com/activism/@titusfrost/g3148g9x
