#207 Augustus Doricko - CEO of Rainmaker: Manipulating the Weather

But in order... Avalanches are floods.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#207 Augustus Doricko - CEO of Rainmaker: Manipulating the Weather

But in order to do that, like I said, you'd have to be operating totally irresponsibly.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#207 Augustus Doricko - CEO of Rainmaker: Manipulating the Weather

You'd have to have...

The Shawn Ryan Show
#207 Augustus Doricko - CEO of Rainmaker: Manipulating the Weather

like either bad science or malicious intent, you would have to skirt around the existing regulations that require you suspend operations if there is any risk.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#207 Augustus Doricko - CEO of Rainmaker: Manipulating the Weather

Um, so we have like a pretty, pretty solid framework to prevent, uh, any sort of disasters from happening there.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#207 Augustus Doricko - CEO of Rainmaker: Manipulating the Weather

Um, you know, like what if, uh,

The Shawn Ryan Show
#207 Augustus Doricko - CEO of Rainmaker: Manipulating the Weather

Yeah, I don't know.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#207 Augustus Doricko - CEO of Rainmaker: Manipulating the Weather

I think those are probably the big ones.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#207 Augustus Doricko - CEO of Rainmaker: Manipulating the Weather

So we know that it was weaponized in Vietnam.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#207 Augustus Doricko - CEO of Rainmaker: Manipulating the Weather

Let me pose this hypothetical, Ray.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#207 Augustus Doricko - CEO of Rainmaker: Manipulating the Weather

There's a limited window of time in the Straits of Taiwan during which landing craft can easily traverse the Straits because the weather is not so severe that, you know, there's not a lot of rain coming down, there's not really rough seas.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#207 Augustus Doricko - CEO of Rainmaker: Manipulating the Weather

If you can modify the weather and you can

The Shawn Ryan Show
#207 Augustus Doricko - CEO of Rainmaker: Manipulating the Weather

Extend or shorten that window then the strategic situation around that island changes meaningfully similarly if if you're trying to move personnel or material and it's wet on the ground right like a lot of Operation Barbarossa failed because tanks got stuck armor got stuck in Russia during the spring and

The Shawn Ryan Show
#207 Augustus Doricko - CEO of Rainmaker: Manipulating the Weather

If you can make it more wet on the ground, then that would have some tactical consequence as well.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#207 Augustus Doricko - CEO of Rainmaker: Manipulating the Weather

So yeah, absolutely possible.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#207 Augustus Doricko - CEO of Rainmaker: Manipulating the Weather

Rainmaker doesn't do that, for whatever it's worth.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#207 Augustus Doricko - CEO of Rainmaker: Manipulating the Weather

I don't think people will believe me.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#207 Augustus Doricko - CEO of Rainmaker: Manipulating the Weather

Have you heard of the fake windmills that Taiwan's building?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#207 Augustus Doricko - CEO of Rainmaker: Manipulating the Weather

No.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#207 Augustus Doricko - CEO of Rainmaker: Manipulating the Weather

So nominally, they want more clean power, right?
