On this West Virginia Morning, Russian aluminum company Rusal announced its plans to invest in a northeast Kentucky manufacturing plant. As the Ohio Valley ReSource's Sydney Boles reports, the investment is the company’s first U.S. project following relief from federal sanctions.

Also on today's show, utility companies have an age problem. Across Pennsylvania, 28 percent of their workforce is expected to retire in the next five years. State Impact Pennsylvania’s Amy Sisk looks at how one power company hopes to replace those workers.
