they didn't return the power swiftly simply because they couldn't. the power had to come back down and it was just a matter of waiting
now, staten island does have it's own generator plant and even though con ed doesn't own it anymore, if it was known it was going to be a big problem i assume they could have used it to get power back here, or even to make power to send to more important places. it just wasn't necessary because they knew the problem was fixed up north so it just had to slowly make its way back down
