Excuse us, @wvgovernor, but you forgot to include a link to the article you claim "misrepresented" your administration's plans and that you dismissed as "fake news." Don't worry, we've got your back! And because we stand behind the reporting at the heart of this article and encourage all West Virginians to read it and draw their own conclusions, we've removed the paywall, making this piece of important journalism free to read for everyone. Check out Mike Tony's story below and thanks for supporting local journalism. wvgazettemail.com/news/energ… via @wvgazettemail
The Gazette got it wrong. This Friday’s story intentionally misrepresented my administration’s energy plans without giving me a chance to address their claims and slanted coverage. Here's the truth: We are pursuing nuclear generation and manufacturing to bring high-paying jobs to West Virginia. Our recent application to the U.S. Department of Energy was part of that effort. We want to build on our existing strengths in coal and natural gas to create more jobs and opportunity, stronger communities, and a higher standard of living. But West Virginia will not be a dumping ground for nuclear waste. Period. I have directed my Office of Energy to ensure that every site identified in our final Nuclear Campus application is considered only for nuclear generation or manufacturing - not as a dump. I will keep fighting for investments that can bring thousands of high-paying jobs to our state. I will also protect West Virginia’s beauty and heritage. We can pursue new opportunities without becoming a dumping ground. More energy jobs and manufacturing jobs are on the table. Nuclear waste dumps are not. We've had enough fake news.

Friday marked the start of the 2026 Gauley River whitewater season, which brings thousands of thrill-seekers each fall to ride the dam-augmented flow of the Nicholas County stream as it drops 668 feet through 25 miles of remote, rugged canyon country, producing more than 100 rapids with huge waves and countless technical challenges. 🗞️READ MORE: bit.ly/4j9D8gB

Charleston native and performance artist Vinny Franck's days-long efforts at the Clay Center for the Arts & Sciences of West Virginia to prepare for the Great Charleston Domino Challenge ended in a controlled demolition as his centerpiece of the challenge, a re-creation of the West Virginia Capitol made from about 10,000 wooden blocks, collapsed in a domino-like effect on Saturday, Aug. 15, 2026. 🗞️ READ MORE: bit.ly/4csdJuv

Two chemical industry giants, Union Carbide Corp. and Covestro LLC, are looking to throw out expert evidence against them, asserting an increased risk of illness from air pollution in South Charleston in response to their emissions of a carcinogen that has driven up Kanawha County’s cancer risk, downplaying an established link between the carcinogen and its harmful health effects. 🗞️FULL STORY: bit.ly/4fvPjSV

There's not much more than can be written about this year's WVU baseball story. It was a team that overachieved in a mighty way. The immediate picture shows a team vying for a national championship. However, the bigger picture shows the unity and togetherness WVU baseball brought to the state. The Mountaineers unified a state and gave the fan base something to latch onto, as the fans have been trying to find something to attach themselves to and hold onto. The applause and cheering sounds loud in late May and early June, but the noise should be consistent during the early months of the season that leads to a late season run. Don't take for granted what this baseball team achieved. Latch onto it and don't let go.
