Protecting environment and humans from geoengineering and weather modification experiments
SB 665 prohibits weather modification and geoengineering activities within West Virginia, including cloud seeding, stratospheric aerosol injections, and solar radiation modification. It defines prohibited actions as any intentional release of atmospheric contaminants (such as chemicals, particles, or radiation) that could harm human health, the environment, agriculture, or public safety. The law establishes enforcement through the Department of Environmental Protection and sets penalties for violations. This applies to all entities, including government agencies, corporations, and organizations conducting such activities in the state.
