the ground became drier and drier and drier and created more fuel that fed those fires.

And so for wildfire prevention, cloud seeding is absolutely something that you can do.

And an interesting part about that is desalination is one way to make water.

Desalination, you can produce about a cubic meter of water for $0.40.

Cloud seeding is about a tenth of a cent, so it's way, way cheaper.

If you're doing desal, you can't really use that water to do wildfire prevention because you need a pipe to move it over every square inch of the land that you're trying to make wet.

Well, with cloud seeding, you actually naturally distribute it over the entire area.

So you can keep that soil moist, you can keep those plants green, and then reduce the risk of wildfire going forward.

So I think that really it's going to be...

Keeping farms alive, keeping industrial capacity alive, keeping southwestern cities from running out of water so that people have to move out of them, and then wildfire prevention as the main cases for us.

We just... Dude, you get precipitation like 15 to 45 minutes after you start seeding.

15 to 45 minutes?

Yeah, it is super, super fast, provided you have the liquid in the cloud.

But yeah, yeah, it's super straightforward.

You can see the effect of it in real time.

It's funny when people say they're making hurricanes or something, because it's like, we can do less than an inch of rain or snow right now, given the tech, and sometimes it's less than a centimeter.

It is a lot of water over a large area taken in that context, especially if you keep operating for a long time.

But you cannot make it dump, or at least we don't know how to make it dump yet.

Then you can also make some inference about, well, depending on how much water is in the cloud, you can make some projections about how much it'll rain as well.

Classic question also, Mr. Ryan.
