Before studying up on Rainmaker, I thought of cloud seeding as a fringe new technology. But in this episode of @disasterproofHQ, I learned the US has been doing it + studying it for 70+ years. We just couldn't measure if it worked. @ADoricko and @RainmakerCorp changed that. New https://t.co/RpSeOBboYU
