Prohibiting geoengineering activities

West Virginia's SB 514 prohibits all geoengineering activities within or over the state, including weather modification, cloud seeding, stratospheric aerosol injection, and solar radiation modification. The bill defines these activities as intentional releases of pollutants or harmful substances into the atmosphere that could endanger health, environment, agriculture, or public safety. It requires the state secretary to investigate credible reports of such activities, issue immediate cessation orders, and enforce penalties for violations. This law directly affects any entity - individuals, corporations, government agencies, or international bodies - conducting prohibited activities within West Virginia's airspace.
