IDWR and Idaho Power’s cloud seeding program should also be considered as possibly contributing to the increased fires. AgI and liquid propane drying out the targeted seeded basins? Who is doing the follow up studies to ensure chemical spray isn’t adding to drought conditions or contributing to more fires. Idaho Power is receiving millions of tax payer dollars and tax payers have little to no knowledge of impacts of this program. Then our legislature granted anyone contracted by IDWR, for cloud seeding, liability exemptions! Say it’s dangerous without overtly saying it’s dangerous. Idaho Power lobbyists worked very hard last session to stop a bill that would have put liability back on their program.

Thank you, Christy. Our forests and our lives have been turned upside down, and it ain't over yet!

Here's another take...

WEATHER ENGINEERING: The US knows how to stop and redirect hurricanes, control weather, and steer other “natural” disasters (posted 10/02/24): https://substack.com/@bige47/note/c-71111394

Many people believe that weather engineering is conspiracy theory. But DECADES of catastrophic events — hurricanes, floods, wildfires, earthquakes, and more — point to government and military efforts to control otherwise natural disasters.

Conspiracy theories? Maybe yes, maybe no. But many so-called conspiracy theories ultimately have turned out to be facts (including COVID origins, COVID countermeasures and safety).

The link above provides more details.

I have an incentives plan to help solve the issue and help nourish our food. I do not know who is against grazing and why they are against it. Keep in mind the people in government listen to the 5% of people without doing research themselves. Is wy were screwed up as a country

These forest fires are on purpose and it's politically motivated. Stop spraying chemicals in the air that cause drought and add metals into the air. Our legislators need to work hard to protect Idaho's lands from federal overreach. The U.S. has been enduring weather wars for many years, along with other countries. This is no theory.

Christy, you have presented some great points that really hit home for those of us who continue to be inundated by smoke from these ongoing fires. Thank you for speaking up and out so forcefully.
