SB6 appropriates $600,000 in both FY 2025-26 and FY 2026-27 to the Desert Research Institute to support Nevada’s State Cloud Seeding Program. The Institute must submit annual reports to the Interim Finance Committee detailing how the funds were spent. Any unspent money cannot be used after each fiscal year and must revert to the State General Fund by the specified deadlines.
The Nevada State Assembly passed SB6 on June 2, 2025 by a vote of 39 to 3. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this legislation pushes experimental and largely unaccountable weather-modification practices that pose risks to public health, property, and civil liberties. As The New American has reported, federal agencies, corporations, and globalist climate activists increasingly promote geoengineering and atmospheric manipulation as tools to advance the false climate-change narrative and justify sweeping controls on energy and human behavior. Rather than funding speculative atmospheric manipulation, lawmakers should protect taxpayers from unproven experiments that expand government power while offering no guaranteed public benefit.
