There is a theory that seeding clouds before they have a chance to really gather, can or could pervent hurricanes. Or make them into the kind of storms that weathermen get hard for.

]]> <![CDATA[Geoengineers Will Prevent Rain Over Olympic Stadium in China]]> Uhhh... rain prevention technology has been around since what, the 50s? 60s? There's a reason it was clear and sunny for most Mayday parades in the ol' Soviet Union.

I believe Putin had the sky seeded for St. Petersburg's tricentennial, and that garnered the same "wow, we can do that?" response.

But it does glow handsomely, like a huge, atomic-powered brain. I'm sure the'll shake the bugs out of their culture. We're still trying and we've had more practice at democracy than China has ever had.

Actually, from what I hear the smog clouds are going to be a bigger problem than the rain clouds. Cool buildings, though.
