Please help us ban the cloud seeding program in Idaho!

Even if you do not live here you can help us achieve our goal!

Idaho Power uses this program to disperse silver iodide, potassium iodide and now liquid propane into the air via aircraft or ground-based generators places among several basins throughout our state!

There has been no long term research that the chemicals used are not harmful and when looking at silver iodide on its own, it is known as a toxic chemical.

They claim to use so little it is harmless, however if it is used several times a week for half of the year for 20 years straight, there’s no saying the long term affects on our air, water, soil, wildlife, plants, food, livestock and most importantly ourselves and our children.

Silver iodide is especially known to be toxic to aquatic life. So there is also no telling how harmful it is to all of our lakes and rivers and the many different fish we eat from them.

These programs are not helping our state or our planet in the long run. Our neighboring state of Montana does not cloud seed and yet we are both in the same category when it comes to how impacted we are by “climate change”.

Please sign and share!! We need as many signatures as possible!!

The organization change .org asks for donations to promote petitions. We ARE NOT asking for donations to promote this petition! Please just skip this! All we want is signatures! Thank you!

Thank you so much for sharing this!!! Unfortunately, I am in North Idaho, 6 hours from where the meetings are held! The Governor has been notified about the petition and I will continue to share the petition results with the Governor as well as other state representatives and legislators. I am hoping if I can get 1,000 signatures or more I can get the attention of some of our state legislators to help back this.

There has already been a few legislators who have introduced bills regarding the cloud seeding program. Unfortunately none of them use the verbiage to outright BAN the cloud seeding program and all other atmospheric spraying.

These bills usually get ignored until they die and then another one has to be started. I would like to get enough Idahoans talking about this so it CAN NOT be ignored any longer. If we get enough of us and we get loud enough we can not be ignored!!!
