    Does anyone have the bill text? Because this is incredibly broad:

    The bill forbids “intentional injection, release, or dispersion” of chemicals into the air.

    I was originally wondering if they had a crop-dusting exception, but that line would include air fresheners and maybe everything coming out of a spray bottle. What about car wiper fluid? Car washes? Car exhaust? Normal farm pesticides? Sneezing??? Do they define air or chemicals anywhere? I want to know how well this is thought out.

        Amazing. Tennessee would become the most progressive state overnight. Only zero emission vehicles and power sources allowed.

      They probably were handed this law draft from some intern and thought, lets pass this and its better to start out with a very strict law and then we can soften it later.

      Then everyone was jailed for farting, and now we can’t get any more laws passed.

    “This as convincing as saying that alien beings walk among us in disguise as people because some people act very strangely,” it said.

    We do. The entity’s name is Ted Cruz.

    It’s just political theater. They can appease idiots to get reelected by passing a law that requires literally nothing be done whatsoever.

    The legislation’s sponsor, Monty Fritts, called it “a very common-sense thing to do”.

    Although several lawmakers mentioned chemtrails while the bill was being discussed, during Monday’s session Mr Fritts focused on cloud seeding.

    It sounds like the guy who put forward the legislation was concerned about something that’s at least plausible[0], but some of the more reality challenged members hijacked the debate?

    [0] I have no idea what chemicals are used for cloud seeding, I just know it’s a real thing, unlike chemtrails.

      The first time I heard news about this it included text from the bill and that’s exactly what I thought too. Sounded like someone wanted a bill for a very real thing and the media spun it into chemtrails but now it seems his peers have too.

    These headlines are misleading, likely intentionally to increase clicks. They’re banning distribution of chemicals from aircraft for the purpose of geo-engineering. Not banning regular ol contrails that the conspiracy nuts refer to as chemtrails.

      If you’re living near a small airport you also get lead dumped on you because small planes still use leaded gas. They don’t have to, they were just never required to stop so they didn’t.

        Yep, 100LL (100 octane low lead)

        As opposed to no lead
