After pledge to shoot down planes, Rep. Dylan Jordan promising to “ban geoengineering flights”

Next session, are we counting on legislators to bring legislation to build our workforce? Probably not. Or to move South Dakota from the bottom in teacher pay? I’m guessing no. Or to bring more value added agriculture processing to South Dakota to reverse the trend of plummeting corn prices? Oh hell no!

Can we count on them to fight against cloud trails left by high altitude jets from warm exhaust?  Of course we can.

As you might have guessed, one of South Dakota’s goofiest legislators is at it again. After signing a pledge earlier this year to have jets shot down if they leave contrails, State Representative Dylan Jordan is on facebook promising to bring a bill to “ban geoengineering flights” at airports:

Heeding the call of facebook (as opposed to his constituents), State Representative Dylan Jordan took to the social media website to declare that “there will be a bill next session” in response to this non-existent crisis.

*sigh*

Just remember. When low voter turnout gives us the lowest common denominator in legislators, this is what they bring to the table.

  1. How many state airports does SD have? It won’t effect anything with federal funding and i would bet their overall impact is limited. More performative politics for a non-issue.

  2. If you read t e law bills, the bill numbered 477 was stuck to the table and a half-sister bill numbered 56 was passed and signed. There are some neato diagrams at the blue link https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2025/56/Analyses/2025s00056.rc.PDF.

    The young and (possibly?) insaner Mr. DJ is taking credit for the work of others.

    Several other states have laws that address weather modification in
    some way. In 2024, Tennessee became the first state to ban cloud seeding and other weather modification operations in the state.28 Similar bills have been introduced in at least eight other state legislatures between January 2023 and December 2024, including Illinois, Kentucky, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, and Texas.29

  3. SFPS should examine rescinding that idiot’s diploma as it devalues every other alum’s.
