People are failing to mention that the Empress has a club underneath it that has a pool and is loud as hell into the night.

Don't stay there unless you plan to party late night. It also typically caters to a specific clientele.

The Asbury Hotel and the Ocean Club are the nicest by far.

Check the Pony Schedule. Not all shows are summerstage, usually only the big acts.

St. Laurent is the old Tides Hotel.

Why are there a ton of boat strikes only while this surveying is going on?

Yes, whales get hit by boats, but never at this rate.

The sonar and underwater noise does cause issues with the whales. When they were doing underwater geologic blasting a few years ago, the whales were acting strange then too.

All I'm saying is it should be studied/observed.

To be fair, they aren't blaming the turbines, they are blaming the underwater surveying for the turbines.

Essentially, the Orsted said, hey we can't be causing this, the signal source isn't as powerful as last time. NOAA said we believe you.

The lack of oversight or research into the topic is what a lot of people are concerned about. When has a large company or the government for that matter had any regard for the environment when billions of dollars are on the line.

Heavily dependent on azimuth and shading. I'm going to assume it's bad based on the fact that you are saving $10 a month.

It's probably a PPA. What's your rate? Seems high. They love to sell these with escalating rates too, so check that. +1-2% per year.

Nope. Went through this a year or so ago. They have to pull it for you.

I was told by basically every yard I called that it's a liability issue.

Used https://www.car-part.com/ to find the yards and the parts inventory listed is pretty accurate. Managed to find a used nissan fuse panel that the dealer wanted $800 for, for $45.
