And so the idea was, one,

Precipitate water out of the storm so that there's less flooding that occurs from it before it reaches land.

And then two, if you freeze the liquid in the cloud, that releases a little bit of heat.

Freezing is exothermic.

And so if you seed the storm and it releases heat, you have the same amount of energy, but you expand the storm, like the heat

And so the wind speeds will be less on the exterior as well.

So you get less damage from flooding, less damage from severe winds.

We tried doing that.

The problem then though was we didn't have anything in the way of satellites.

We had no radar over the oceans.

And so we couldn't even measure what the results were really.

So we gave it a go.

Nobody really knows whether it was effective or not.

But I think that the thing to consider is like,

Rainmaker right now is just making more water for farms, utilities.

That's our bag.

That is what people immediately need.

We can do it at small scales.

It is worthwhile.

And people really want that.
