The Preservation Society of Newport has filed a lawsuit in attempt to stop the offshore wind projects off the coast of Rhode Island because they say it will “spoil the view” on the ocean horizon and hurt tourism. Rhode Island needs these offshore wind farms including the large Revolution Wind project to supply renewable energy to southern New England, to create well-paying unionized jobs and to fulfill the equitable goals of the Act on Climate mandate. We must avert the worst effects of the Climate Crisis that will bring even more rising seas, warming waters and damaging storms to our coast. Ending dependence on fossil fuels and creating more clean renewable energy is more important than the privileged few having an “unspoiled view” on the horizon.
