They can now put out forest fires cheaply and efficiently.
They can now mitigate the effects of costly droughts.
They can control how many people get struck by lightening annually.
They can save a ton of money in snow clearing costs each winter.
They can decrease heating oil imports by having warmer winter temperatures.
They can certainly control global warming instead of paying billions annually in environmental damages.
Who'd have guessed that with all this power to control the whether, the government would use it to piss off the MAGA cultists? That's just an arrogance inflation of your own self-importance.
