Did the US Government Fund Toxic Chemtrails in Idaho

I love a good urban legend and a well-thought-out conspiracy theory. Bigfoot, Flat Earthers, and Chemtrails are a few of my favorites.

Each story has some sort of truth behind it to make it believable and the chemtrail theory may have just gotten a huge boost in Idaho.

Internet ‘Proof’ Claims the Government Funded Chemtrails in Idaho

A recent post on Twitter (X) claims information revealed by the recent USAID information purge shows that ‘USAID gave Idaho Power a $2M grant for cloud seeding’ and goes into great depth about the toxic chemicals that are included in ‘chemtrails’.

The problem with the X claim is that even in the post it shows that Pitch Aeronautics INC was the recipient of the funds and that they came from the Department of Energy, not USAID.

Still, if we go back to Idaho Power and weird stuff happening in the sky, that IS happening. And Idaho Power admits it.

Idaho Has Been Cloud Seeding For Decades

Cloud Seeding isn’t the same as chemtrails, unless you want to believe that it is, and Idaho Power has a page dedicated to their process for introducing silver iodide into storm clouds to make them produce more snow to help maintain optimal water levels.

Cloud seeding can be done from the ground – but there are also airplanes that spread the silver iodide, also called ice nuclei. Which, if you want to go there, planes spreading chemicals in the air does sound like chemtrails.

But, back to the chemtrails. You could believe what Idaho Power says and the ‘ice nuclei’ is a harmless chemical to cause more snow. You could also believe that it’s a coverup for what is actually happening: the government is filling the sky with toxic chemicals. AKA, chemtrails.

And, if you want to stay on the chemtrail path, Idaho Power only does cloud seeding from November to April. So if you see the white lines in the sky in the summer it probably is chemtrails.

Or, you can believe the science and accept that they are contrails. These are the condensation trails left behind airplanes under certain atmospheric conditions. The EPA says there is no evidence that there have been any ‘deliberate actions to release chemical or biological agents into the atmosphere.’
