I'm just trying to figure out why take the $6000 at all? Why not $1 like we see other CEOs take?
I'd think healthcare plan offset, but even my company 'values' that at far higher, and still would likely be included in 'other'.

I was just going off that NOAA page I linked that says that lists several concerns with them. You can read them yourself.
I've also seen some wild claims being thrown around that they can kill or confuse whales, that NOAA said there was no evidence yet for, just a lotta dead whales for unknown reasons. Almost certainly bullshit (claims of it being wind related), but to claim there's nobody bringing up complaints is odd.
Also, while you may not think fishing sustainable, the coastal towns that rely on fishing may still feel that disruption of their way of life and loss of jobs to be a problem, and even destruction of coal mining towns and the fallout there is used politically.

Or, pessimistically, it's a way to try to change public perception of unpopular windfarms that will displace local fishing jobs, under guise of being green, and letting large corporations make more claim to open waters or buffer zone around 'their' claim to keep folks out.
Now, I'm not saying it's bad or wrong to put up wind, I frankly don't know enough about it.

>Moved in together Nov 2021, and kept breaking up/making up until April 2022 when she started threatening my family's dogs. Since last November she has slept in the master and I have been sleeping on a pull out couch in the second bedroom
you made it less than a month before sleeping in different rooms is impressive

Yea, its just a strange amount. I've heard of CEOs being paid $1, but $6034 is weirdly specific
