West Virginia towns push back against air permits for chemical firm

Kanawha County residents are pushing back against a West Virginia industrial chemical company seeking state regulators' approval for two air permit requests. Ryan Kirkpatrick, climate and utility organizer for the West Virginia Citizen Action Group, said the company is asking the state to modify its existing permits to loosen emissions regulations at its facility in Dunbar-Institute, outside of Charleston. Union Carbide claimed the modified permits will not increase chemical emissions but residents disagree. "They're saying, 'Hey, we're not producing as much as we possibly could, so I feel like you guys should be a little bit less stringent on the regulations, the monitoring,'" Kirkpatrick asserted. Kirkpatrick explained residents are concerned about the effects of increased ethylene oxide and nitrous oxide emissions.

West Virginia's Once-Thriving Historic Train Town Is Now A Hidden Gem In The New River Gorge

Thurmond, a historic town in West Virginia's New River Gorge, was once a bustling hub for the railroad and coal industry. Hidden within the rocky valleys of the New River Gorge, one of the most breathtaking national parks on the East Coast, the town of Thurmond feels like a place that has been frozen in time. Its centuries-old brick buildings, abandoned coaling tower, and train depot serve as reminders of a once-thriving railroad and coal industry. Today, most of Thurmond is maintained by the National Park Service as a preserved historic site for visitors who are curious about its past.
