Rainmaker will do the same.
Correct.
Sure.
So just again, for those that haven't heard before about what cloud seeding is in no uncertain terms,
I run a cloud seeding company.
We make a little bit more rain and snow for farms or for reservoirs or for aquifers when they're dealing with drought.
Obviously, right now, after the flooding, Texas does not need more water.
And we've indefinitely suspended operations because of that.
And we'll keep them suspended until first responders have stopped working.
Cloud seeding is not long streaks in the sky.
It's not trying to dim out the sun.
It's certainly not creating hurricanes.
Cloud seeding is a technology that was invented in the US that relies on
clouds, natural clouds, with liquid water droplets in them.
And flying into those clouds, dispersing material that then freezes onto those drops, makes big enough, heavy enough snowflakes such that they fall and either fall as snow or melt back into rain.
We have customers throughout Texas.
The South Texas Weather Modification Association, the West Texas Weather Modification Association,
These are groups of counties and individual farms that pay us for cloud seeding because they historically have needed more water.
If you look even back to June 24th, not long ago, a lot of Texas, a lot of the hill country was in severe or moderate drought.
So what we were doing there on July 2nd and prior was trying to make more rain for these farms and for these reservoirs and to recharge the aquifer because they tend to need more water.
