ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Tim Hwang is joined by Rainmaker founder and CEO Augustus Doricko and FAI Director of Science and Innovation Ian Banks to discuss Rainmaker’s role in the deployment of cloud seeding technology. We cover: how innovators in weather modification can build trust around safety and efficacy, what “water rights” look like when said water is still in the sky, why scale is what determines whether cloud seeding is a science project or an efficient mode of infrastructure, and whether you’d need more drones for a cloud seeding operation or a really great LED drone show.
