Where's your tin-foil hat[1]?
Obviously the Communists figured out how to use the CIA mind control chemicals in contrails against us. So, they've got to be stopped, either the Communists or the contrails, but it's easier to stop the contrails. Environmental benefits is just a cover story. PS, that extra fuel they say they'll need has the next gen mind control chemicals, that the Communists can't use, but these will be invisible.
[1] You do have one made of actual tin-foil don't you? Aluminum foil hats don't actually work for anything other than fashion. Have you tried to get rolled tin lately --- there's a reason it's hard to find.
