This could be astounding if true. Very clever approach (again, if true).

And exactly whose water are they stealing?
If they make it rain in the desert, then it won’t rain somewhere else where it may be needed for someone elses agriculture.

I don’t know the truth of this, but I do know if you screw around enough with Mother Nature, somebody is going to get bitten.

But, but what about the poor drowning desert animals and plants!

Ok, so we have X amount of water to go around, right? So, are they destroying another eco system?

I’m sure there’ll be no unintended consequences from this.

Per the article, there has to be at least 30% humidity for it to work. I think it will be limited to coastal areas, where there is a chance of getting that much moisture....so I don’t think its really ‘stealing’ somebody else’s rainfall.

I am skeptical that it could ever reach a useable scale, though. The article didn’t mention how much rain, or how large the clouds were...but I bet they were pretty small, when one considers the needs of agriculture.

Interesting...but workable?
