Cloud-seeding to Make Rain
This is just so weird to me. Even if it's been around since the 40's it just seems wrong.
Can Rain be Bought?:
"The cloud-seeding method generally used in the winter and the one used in Denver involves ground-based generators set at high elevations that are literally fired up to release plumes containing silver iodide crystals into storm clouds with temperatures roughly between 7 and 25 degrees Fahrenheit. When water vapor or droplets attach to the silver iodide crystal, latent heat is also released, and it increases cloud size and the duration of storms."
