That's fascinating because long-term, Rainmaker has to do more than just making it rain more, right?
We have to...
automate tree planting and we have to figure out how to make the trees grow faster or we have to make sure that the soil retains more water.
So that tech sounds super, super interesting.
So rather than the Sahara, right, let's like take Arizona as an example.
Kingston, Arizona, a lot of that soil is the same mineral content as the Central Valley.
it's just not productive because there's not enough water, right?
So there's a ton of areas in the world where it's like ready to farm if only for water supply.
So like you can start with those and you don't need to change the soil too much.
Now, in the case of a lot more arid regions, you know, how do you get the amount of nutrients and water to stay in the soil for actual plants to grow?
Because if you plant a seed in sand, like probably no dice, right?
There's these things called hydrogels or biochar or just like manure.
that you can till into the soil to one, put nutrients there and two, allow the soil to retain more water.
So if you just have an automated tractor or a combine or something that grates the soil, mixes in this water retaining material, then that instantly becomes much, much, much more arable.
Interesting.
Let's talk about how this all works.
How does it work?
You have watering clouds, right?
I'll walk you through the form of the tech that we understand very well in a proposed alternative way.
