The non-profit organization that runs several Newport mansions as museums has sued the federal government to try to stop the building of hundreds of ocean turbines, some as tall as 968 feet, saying they would ruin the view.
"We support green energy," said Trudy Coxe, chief executive officer of the Preservation Society of Newport County, in a written statement, according to The Providence Journal. "… Green energy projects need not come at the unnecessary loss to our community's irreplaceable character and sense of place."
