And to keep people from starving, we should be cloud seeding.

Um, so it's, it's easier in places that have good soil mineral content, right?

So like a lot of Arizona is going to be easier than a lot of, um, Sudan, right?

Um, cause they have the Sahara.

So that, that, that's just wasteland.

Um, Arizona, uh,

I think that if we, we don't do any cloud seeding there right now.

If we stood up a program, I think that you could start farming in previously inerrable land in the course of years.

I mean, first things first, you got to meet all of the deficits.

So like there's a lot of farms that are already running dry.

So if you make enough water first from a cloud seeding program to make sure that they're taken care of, then how much more can you produce for other communities?

You can probably do that in the course of a couple of years.

So maybe like three, three, then that land starts to come online.

And then with respect to the real wastelands, right?

Like the Bolivian salt flats, the Sahara desert, the Australian outback, that's going to be multi-decadal.

Like what I think about happening is this.

Elon sends rockets to Mars to set up the first civilization there.

We will get really good at atmospheric engineering here to make the carrying capacity of Earth higher.

And by the time you have like a bubble city on Mars that's self-sufficient and they start melting the ice caps on Mars to create an atmosphere there, we will be good enough at atmospheric engineering here on Earth

such that we can start to distribute the water the way that we want to on Mars.
