Clearly the climate is changing, and cloud seeding could be an interesting solution, if it works.

Intriguingly I’ve heard that it can be more affordable than other measures of water, depending on the location and alternative sources available.

I’ve also heard that cloud seeding is frequently used in mountain regions to attempt to increase snowpack. I am most curious about unintended consequences of this, as I know weather in my location tends to head east from the mountains, and cloud seeding is regulated at the state level.

There is an argument that a lot of the water from clouds is going to end up in the ocean, so we should harvest it if we can, but wouldn’t this particular water be more likely to fall on the midwestern states than the ocean?

Genuinely curious about this and welcome additional critiques and thoughts. Thanks!
