There's all the state level stuff.

So like state departments of natural resources will have your permitting and licensing, but then the federal government, you're required to tell NOAA, you're required to notify them if you intend to do weather modification, and you're required to report on the results of it.

But it's super open-ended.

And NOAA doesn't really want to touch it because most of the time they just get calls from people that say like, are you poisoning me?

And like the answer is no, probably not.

But they don't really like it.

And there's not much regulation at the federal level, which isn't good.

Like there should be more stringent reporting requirements so that people can have transparent understanding of the results.

The other thing is this is a consequence of Operation Popeye.

There's something called NMOD, which is this treaty from 1972, I think, that in the international community, so how real international law is, I don't know, up to you, but it technically bans the weaponization of weather modification.

So it is, at least on the books, totally illegal to weaponize this tech.

So the lay of the land is this, right?

So first with respect to the UAE,

They do have a big weather modification program.

They do want to make more water to turn their desert green, right?

Because it's this air wasteland.

The system that you're referring to in April of 2024, I think, that flooded the city, that was going to flood Dubai naturally, whether they cloud seeded or not.

We know that because it had already rained in Saudi.

It had already rained in Qatar.

The system went on and precipitated in Iran, and it caused flooding everywhere.
