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.
Wow, that’s terrible, and it makes my complaining seem way more petty.
My kids go to school at a business park where there are some large trucks ending and leaving for deliveries. They’re also building a bunch of apartments and whatnot in the area, so they’re redesigning the intersection and street. They tore up a nice strip of trees in the middle of the street to make room for another lane.
Here’s a rough map:
There’s a stoplight at the H/C intersection, and they’re putting another in at the other intersection, as well as a dedicated turn from B to H and from H to B. Most people want to go between H and A/B. Going toward or from ∅ is very rare, and I think I’ve only seen large trucks to that way (if the turns are too tight in the business park).
Since almost nobody goes to ∅, I think a roundabout would make a ton more sense. The traffic from H to B would never need to stop and the traffic from B to H would rarely need to stop, so traffic would flow really nicely. It would also work really well for traffic from B to A, which is going to get more busy as people move in (it’s new construction). The light at H/C is frequent enough that it should keep up with the traffic from the roundabout.
But no, we get a left lane (B to H) that’s going to always be backed up enough to block people from going from B to A. And it’s probably way more expensive.
I guess one nice part is that kids walk from B to A, but since there’s almost no traffic going to ∅, we could just put a crosswalk there (almost nobody is going to ∅ anyway, so people probably won’t need to stop). The road that crosses ∅ is really wide, so there could totally be a protected island there as well.
But the real solution is to not have so many cars. There’s no bus service in this area despite a commuter train station being a mile or two away. I really don’t understand why you wouldn’t have at least a shuttle from the commuter rail to this business park…
It really makes you wonder who is paying these “planners” and whether or not they’ve even actually tried driving the route in question!
Yeah, there are some really confusing ones in my area:
Maybe I need to go to city meetings.
