Title: Moscow mayor pays russian air force to control weather

Pigs still can't fly, but this winter, the mayor of Moscow promises to keep it from snowing. For just a few million dollars, the mayor's office will hire the Russian Air Force to spray a fine chemical mist over the clouds before they reach the capital, forcing them to dump their snow outside the city. Authorities say this will be a boon for Moscow, which is typically covered with a blanket of snow from November to March. Road crews won't need to constantly clear the streets, and traffic - and quality of life - will undoubtedly improve.


The idea came from Mayor Yury Luzhkov, who is no stranger to playing God. In 2002, he spearheaded a project to reverse the flow of the vast River Ob through Siberia to help irrigate the country's parched Central Asian neighbors. Although that idea hasn't exactly turned out as planned - scientists have said it's not feasible - this time, Luzhkov says, there's no way he can fail.

I bet 200 years from now, we regularly sow the clouds to control the weather.  makes economic sense.  Big games won't get rained out, popular resorts will be able to promise perfect weather.

but we'll also be able to bring in rain where it's needed, etc.  Imagine being able to put out wildfires.  Ending droughts.  I bet there's lots of cool war uses too.  Imagine putting 6 months of hailstorms or hurricanes on your enemy's cities.  Cool shit.
