The Tennessee Senate has passed a bill targeting “chemtrails.”
SB 2691/HB 2063, sponsored by Rep. Monty Fritts, R-Kingston, and Sen. Steve Southerland, R-Morristown, passed in the Senate on Monday. The bill has yet to advance in the House.
The bill claims it is “documented the federal government or other entities acting on the federal government’s behalf or at the federal government’s request may conduct geoengineering experiments by intentionally dispersing chemicals into the atmosphere, and those activities may occur within the State of Tennessee,” according to the bill.
The legislation would ban the practice in Tennessee.
“The intentional injection, release, or dispersion, by any means, of chemicals, chemical compounds, substances, or apparatus within the borders of this state into the atmosphere with the express purpose of affecting temperature, weather, or the intensity of the sunlight is prohibited,” the bill reads.
The bill is scheduled to go to the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee on Wednesday.
The way this things reads it either affects everything or nothing that gets pumped into the atmosphere. My guess is nothing because who will ever say their express purpose is to affect the temperature, weather, or the intensity of the sunlight?
In today’s class; how to pass a law that does nothing, affects no one, and makes idiots re-elect you.
Wow, we’re really gone aren’t we. We’re all the way fucked.
The intentional injection, release, or dispersion, by any means, of chemicals, chemical compounds, substances, or apparatus within the borders of this state into the atmosphere with the express purpose of affecting temperature, weather, or the intensity of the sunlight is prohibited,
So just bring a camera to film it and say the express purpose is to make art, educational videos, documentaries, study dispersal patterns, etc.
It’s totally cool to affect the environment accidentally or as a biproduct of another activity.
Clickbait headline.
Chemtrails aren’t mentioned anywhere in the bill. They’re banning solar geoengineering tests in the state. Which is at least something that some companies are studying, even though the tech doesn’t exist yet.
what are chemtrails, then? because the bill talks about “intentionally dispersing chemicals into the atmosphere” and to say that it doesn’t ban chemtrails because it doesn’t say the word “chemtrails” is a little bit dishonest in and of itself
“Chemtrails” are from a conspiracy theory that the government is spreading mind control agents through these contrails or vapor trails (the trails left behind airplanes sometimes). Here’s an article discussing what they actually are.
Crazy that biological agents are excluded from the anti chemtrails bill when they’re the real life chemtrails!
Just convince Tennessee Republicans that airplanes aren’t real. Should be easy considering they’re completely capable of ignoring reality in favor of conspiracies. Problem solved. You’re welcome.
I’m not sure if Tennessee has the jurisdiction to enforce this law seeing as the FAA makes it very clear they get to decide what state and local laws may be enforced.
I’m not sure because “chemtrails” don’t fucking exist: It’s an insane conspiracy theory spouted by idiots who don’t understand what contrails are or why they form.
You sound very sure, but don’t forget that the UK admitted to doing similar things, for decades, on an unsuspecting population.

I’m not saying fucked up experimentation has never happened, it 100% has in multiple countries including the US & UK, but I am saying that “chemtrails” do not exist and are a misunderstanding of contrails.
It all depends on how you define the word chemtrails. It’s easy to jump to the most ridiculous version of the theory and reject it, but that is somewhat akin to a straw man. In light of what I just showed you, it’s also incredibly contradictory.
No offense, but if you oversimplify the situation to “it’s just contrails that linger and people not understanding this” I think you’re not doing yourself any justice. Not everyone who questions these things is a fool who can’t reason or apply logic.
If you’re describing anything other than a made up conspiracy theory, you should use a term other than chemtrails, which applies (as far as I have always heard) specifically to the conspiracy theory. Otherwise, as soon as any most people hear you use the term you come off as another crazy, ignorant conspiracy theorist.
Just because they don’t exist doesn’t mean they won’t look in the sky and see a condensation trail Coming from a jet liner and start throwing fines at people.
So if anyone wants to use “chemicals” to try and do anything corrective for the environment, this bill will also stop them.
Classic 2 faced republican bill.
There’s nothing two-faced about it.
Really really good point here thanks for the conversation.
Hey have an upvote
The Summary reads as something that bans cloud seeding, which is a real thing, and not the same thing as chemtrails which is a made up conspiracy theory about intentionally spreading toxic chemicals.
Yeah, I mean they have a right to ban cloud seeding I guess
100 years ago they banned mustachioed men from holding groundhogs above waist height for longer than 6 minutes per hour….
Yeah, but it got John the groundhog hoister to shave his awful mustache, so you know, time well spent
If the Tennessee Senate’s goal was to waste 45 seconds of my life, mission accomplished.
No more fighting fires with planes and helicopters, no dispersing chemicals, not even dihyxrogen monoxide
So it does just what it’s designed to - nothing. Welp, guess you got your tin-foil-hat constituents covered. Time well spent.
Chemtrails are the mind control drugs. This is banning cloud seeding which is actually being performed in some locales.
Chemtrails aren’t real
They put the mind control drugs directly into the jet fuel. Not even the pilots know they are complicit in the conspiracy.
Interestingly, this bill only bans spraying for purposes of affecting weather. This bill does not actually ban chemtrails.
Complete horsecocky. There is no truth to these conspiracies whatsoever. No one has ever posted undeniable proof of such junk. Stop fear-mongering the people for your pursuits. It’s just as bad as Trump’s constant lies. This is the type of junk that keeps Libertarians from holding importance in American politics. Ridiculous stuff. Stop.
With this language, it’s banning way more than that
What else is actually being done now thats banned by this? Or is this just preemptive banning of technocrats stupid geoengineering ideas to fight climate change?
“This [is] as convincing as saying that alien beings walk among in disguise as people because some people act very strangely.,” they added.
Psh, are you seriously saying that lizard alien people who control us all aren’t walking disguised among us?? /s
