Unfortunately there are no FAQs here as I’d like to know who has the authority to give permission to a contractor to alter the airspace above your property at cloud height. This seems legally sticky.

Interesting, but off topic: What could go wrong if it’s done in the long term? What are the possible edge cases for this application? Will it work in complex weather conditions?

In animatrix there is this part of the video where the devised path forward is "the destruction of the sky" and you can see all this millitary and business people clapping... then the image turns to all that people as skeletons clapping...

let's burn stuff until the heat is unbearable, what can go wrong? let's mess with nature, what can go wrong...? let's destroy the clouds so we can improve the ROI in our solar farm, fuck the shade, the water and the rain...
