Newport Mansions, Museums, & Tourism
In our fifth episode we profile Newport's trifecta when it comes to smart sustainable business. Rarely do you find a city island that can provide the kind of depth and history as Newport does, and from our knowledge we don't know of any other destination in the world that can claim the historical, architectural, and leisure activities that Newport can. It was our pleasure to be joined by Evan Smith, President of Discover Newport, John Rodman, Director of Museum Experience for the Preservation Society, Rick Nagle, Director of Fort Adams Museum. These three gentlemen provide us with the insight to the richness of what we think is one of Rhode Island's greatest resources and all it's wonders.

US signals new clean technology race with China
Climate change was all but ignored by US President Barack Obama and his rival Mitt Romney during the presidential campaign. Environmentalists were heartened, if not thrilled, when Obama declared at his inauguration a call to action on climate change and clean technology: "We must lead it.
