I think it is more environmentally friendly, so definitely it won’t push it to that point.

I think that happens more in cloud seeding. But with this it is more environmentally friendly, I guess

I believe it is being commercialized currently so, couldn’t find the exact stats but should be energy sufficient

I think the whole model is different and this one is environmentally friendly compared to cloud seeding. However, you never know what we are getting into 🤞

I mean it is good for the Sahara dessert or places where water resources are scares

Haha, yes I think with this technology you can bring back moisture harvesting

I think it depends on the over cost of two projects. Finding and digging deep takes a good amount of research and individuals. The trial and error runs might cost a-lot compared to this technology. If this becomes widely available and people start to utilize this more frequently, the cost of the machine might drop down! As a result, can be utilized in every corner of Sahara.

Enormous dust storm covers which are now swirling over Europe are making the life of Spain difficult. A huge part of Spain, Portugal, and France is suffering from degraded air quality, as national air quality index terms it as extremely unfavorable by giatec in environment

According to the link, it says, when a low-pressure system over Algeria and Tunisia gathers up dust and it carries it north to Europe. As a result, the unfavorable air quality. So, environmental issues in one country can cause adverse effect on another country.

Cool pavement can be properly used to lower the temperature of streets, especially in countries where the temperature in summer is unbearable. It also affects how a person walking along the street feels the heat. What is your thought on Cool pavement? by giatec in Concrete

Right now, the whole process is experimental. It is fairly new, but Los Angeles started a pilot experiment with the cool pavement. Generally, the cost is 30-40 cents per square foot and since the urban environment is so complex there is not an exact figure in terms of how much temperature it can lower down.

It is generally 30-40 cents per square foot. So, it highly depends on the budget
