Chemtrails bill in Iowa legislature

As an Iowan I apologize, what can I say, there isn’t much to do in iowa, idle hands and all that. It’s easy to see how bored people can get sucked into the conspiracy theories when about every clear day they can see the lines crisscrossing the sky. It’s actually the wind mill farms that are screwing up the weather . I say that joking, but I do believe the wind mills have changed the weather patterns in the microclimates for few miles around them. They remove energy from the air, I’ve seen with my own eyes the patterns made in the cloud base 1500 ft above them on overcast days, the weather radar changes as storm cells move over them, and a countless number of farms directly down wind for a mile that have went from black dirt I’ve seen them being for 40 years to sandy dirt in a couple. I actually stopped on the highway once and watched as a “whiff” of dust blew up from a field over and over again 3/4 mile down wind from one of the huge ones. Each whiff corresponded precisely with the movement of one of the blades.
 
Unfortunately, the chem trail opposition can quote real pilots from this site, who do the trails.

The pilots think it is fun and games, but they are solidifying the argument, and I have had some friends that have quoted from here, to prove to me that the chems are true.

Are the POA's that make these jokes stupid? They certrainly have stupid outcomes. If we have laws passed that inhibit flight for any sector of aviation, they can have a share of the blame.

Iowa is not alone, I think Tennessee has proposed chem trail abolition.

Conceivably, airliners may be restricted from flying at altitudes that can form vapor trails. Schedules will become longer city to city, and fuel burn increased, raising ticket prices.

But, hey man, the jokes were fun!
 
Since when can states regulate airspace anyway?
Since they said so, same with counties, towns, homeowners associations and a plethora of more. They can pass and enforce laws/rules despite having no jurisdiction to do so, sometimes even in direct violation of superior law and fine you for it. It’s then on you to pay the lawyers and spend the years of litigation to prove they don’t have the authority. Meanwhile 99 % of the people either comply or hire an attorney that burns your money to try to fight the case by arguing a loophole in the statute, or a procedural error, and doesn’t even think to object to the regulation itself because it’s the “law” (sorry for the micro rant).

States don't have jurisdiction over aviation. Neither do morons.
 
Don't we have this same thread every year when the same moron in the state house files the same bill that goes absolutely nowhere?

They cannot, of course, and the Iowa bill is cleverly written to avoid mentioning aircraft. It just focuses on the topic of air pollution. The bill would expand the scope of the types of pollution that the state’s environmental commission can regulate with rules. That scope would now include some silliness, as a sop to nuts like the lady whose screen door blows open in the wind.
 
:facepalm:

On behalf of Iowans...I apologize.

Last year there was a bill introduced by the hog farming industry to plan drones from flying near farm sites. Even though it wasn't a bill linked to Airports, we the Airports tried to educate the legislators you can't do that.
