Is there a relationship between the dramatic increase in at-the-pump refueling fires, electrical pole fires and the increased conductivity of the atmosphere?
According to spark length tests conducted by Clifford Carnicom the expected conductivity of the atmosphere should result in a spark of approx. 2.6" in length. A spark of much greater length (10-12") is now being produced by atmospheric spark-length tests indicating that our atmosphere has lost a good deal of it's insulating quality:

Research is indicating that the conductivity of the atmosphere has been increased. This finding is in conjunction with the extensive aerosol operations that have been documented in detail for the last 2 1/2 years, and with the most recent findings that support the claims for the existence of saturated levels of metallic particulates within the atmosphere.
A Van de Graaf generator has been used to create a spark in the open atmosphere at repeated intervals. The length of the spark that the generator can produce is generally predictable, and it is highly dependent upon the size of the sphere of the generator as well as the dielectric strength of the medium (e.g., air) that the spark traverses.
In the cases that are under examination, the generator being used is rated at 200,000 volts. This agrees reasonably well with the theoretical value of the potential for the generator, which has an oblate spheroid of 18 cm. diameter.
The dielectric strength is a measure of the insulating capability of a medium, and is represented by a constant known as the dielectric strength of the material. The dielectric strength of air is stated from numerous sources to be approximately 3 million volts per meter.
This leads to an expected spark length from the generator being used of:
200,000 V / (3E6 volts / meter) = .067 meters = 2.6 inches.
Outdoor measurements with a clean sphere are producing spark lengths much greater than that which is expected, on the order of 10 -12 inches (.254meters).
This indicates that the breakdown voltage of the atmosphere (dielectric strength) of the atmosphere under testing has been reduced to approximately:
200,000 V / .254 meters = 787,400 volts / meter.
This indicates a reduction in the dielectric strength of the atmosphere under testing by a factor of 3.8. If the manufacturer claims of maximum spark lengths of 5" is used, there remains a reduction factor of 2 in the dielectric strength of the atmosphere that is to be accounted for. This finding leads to the conclusion that the atmosphere is not acting as efficiently as an insulator, or conversely, the atmosphere is more electrically conductive than is expected.
One observable and expected consequence of a reduction in the dielectric strength of the atmosphere would be an increase in lightning frequency and intensity.
These findings are preliminary. Any corrections to this presentation are appreciated, and any revisions will be made as is appropriate.

Note : July 16 2001
These tests were repeated on the night of Jul 16 2001 with the same results. Maximum spark length reached during this test ranged between 10 and 12 inches. Theoretical considerations continue to support and confirm an expected maximum spark length of approximately 3 inches. The results of this test continue to indicate that conductivity characteristics of the atmosphere have been altered."

I recently found reports that show the incidence of refueling fires has increased dramatically. Whereas there were approx. one or two of these incidents reported per year in the early 1990's there are now 25 to 30 of these incidents reported per year. The most dramatic increase in refueling fire reports occured in 1999, which coincides to the approximate time when the chemtrails dumping of metal particulates kicked into high gear. Additionally there has been a huge increase in electrical pole fires and transformer blow outs.

My speculation is that the increased gas pump fires and pole fires are a direct result of the insulating properties of our atmosphere having been greatly reduced because of the massive and continuing dumping of metal particulates into the atmosphere via the chemtrails programs. And also from the loading of the atmosphere with excessive amounts of em energy from the Haarp installation.
It also occurs to me that this dramatic change in atmospheric conductivity may have been a contributing factor to the Columbia disaster as a purple streak of light was photographed striking the Columbia just prior to it's break-up and during the re-entry process into Earth's atmosphere. Is it possible that an energy charge of suffiecient strength could have been generated to bring down the Columbia? That the Columbia acted as a lightening rod attracting a massive release of electrical energy build-up resulting from a an atmosphere that is both overcharged with electrical energy and at the same time having qualitites of reduced insulation and greatly inhanced conductivity?
