And so you have these respiratory issues that are coming.

And so one of the biggest priorities of the state of Utah is to make more water for the Great Salt Lake.

And so something that I want Rainmaker to participate in the next two years is preventing the evaporation of the lake.

When you do that, I mean, how big of an area do they want you to cover?

The Bear River Basin.

So there's really one primary river that flows into the Great Salt Lake.

And so we're still finalizing this, but we're negotiating an interstate compact between Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho right now to cloud seed with

About 30 people distributed over a few thousand square miles as the river flows from Utah into Wyoming, into Idaho, and then back down into the Great Salt Lake in Utah.

Do you ever miss the target?

No, the target is the whole watershed.

So as long as it ends up between these huge mountain ranges, then you're square.

So that's not an issue.

Sometimes we crash drones though.

I think that, so our goal for the operations between October 2025 and April 2026 is to produce 10 billion gallons of water unambiguously just in this one project in northern Utah.

If we do that,

and have all the radar data to back it up.

That puts us at parity with the production of the biggest desalination plant in the United States.

If we succeed in that mission, then I think we're about two years away from becoming the biggest water utility in the Western United States.

I think that people will think about water utilities and water production

as something that cloud seeders do rather than like dam operators do.
