And like he's the kind of guy that I am happy to see in government.

I think that if we have more...

Patriotism, maybe we have to pay bureaucrats more and set up term limits or something.

I think that there's a world where we have good enough people in government to manage and regulate these things.

Like we did in World War II, right?

We were able to set up a clear, safe nuclear energy regulatory structure and built a lot of energy that way.

So it's possible, right?

Like, even though things are bad now, it doesn't mean that they have to be.

It's not a fact of a decaying empire.

Like, I think that we can come back from that.

How would you do it?

How would you regulate it well?

How would you get them on up to speed?

Well, Rainmaker's work is built off the work of scientists from the last couple decades at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, in particular at the University of Utah, at Utah State University, at CU Boulder, at Colorado State University, at MIT.

Probably, one, not deleting, like, all the National Science Foundation budgets to, like, keep those organizations alive so there are objective third parties that have done research on it.

Like, that's important.

And then using them as gangs of experts.

You know, like, I've been...

running around state capitals testifying.

And if the departments of environmental protection were able to call on expert witnesses from the scientific community, that would be good.
