Does anyone have the bill text? Because this is incredibly broad:
The bill forbids "intentional injection, release, or dispersion" of chemicals into the air.
I was originally wondering if they had a crop-dusting exception, but that line would include air fresheners and maybe everything coming out of a spray bottle. What about car wiper fluid? Car washes? Car exhaust? Normal farm pesticides? Sneezing??? Do they define air or chemicals anywhere? I want to know how well this is thought out.
Tennessee gonna be in absolute shambles when someone finally explains global warming to them in a way they actually understand.

Amazing. Tennessee would become the most progressive state overnight. Only zero emission vehicles and power sources allowed.
They probably were handed this law draft from some intern and thought, lets pass this and its better to start out with a very strict law and then we can soften it later.
Then everyone was jailed for farting, and now we can't get any more laws passed.
No more cars and gou better hope you dont need to fart because methane wont be allowed anymore.
Ironically banning coal and natural gas power plants?
