Silver iodide, eh? I can't imagine that it's that cheap. But when snow is the equivalent of gold, I guess I can see the allure.
I wonder about the environmental aspects, though. The article didn't touch on any concerns. Silver iodide seems pretty benign, but the questions are likely more about changing weather and rainfall patterns and the resulting impact.
Frankly, I'm all for more snow. But isn't it just like us rebellious humans to try to manipulate the weather? We take our mandate to subdue the earth (Genesis 1:28) and turn it into a self-centered opportunity to put ourselves in the place of God.
Do you really think it makes any significant difference in the amount of snowfall in Eagle or Summit Counties?
