One of my worst fears. As if the federal government doesn't already have enough power, they now want to harness the
winds?After a brutal year of hurricanes, tornadoes, floods and droughts, lawmakers are looking for ways to beat Mother Nature.
And while it's still a bit of a long shot, Uncle Sam could be called in to sponsor research to find ways to blast dangerous storms out of the sky or put rain clouds over parched land.
In a bill introduced this year by Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, a new board of scientists would be able to dole out federal research money for weather modification, which she said is important, especially considering this year's record-breaking hurricane season.
Wow. What an apt description from Fox News. . . a Texas Republican "doling out federal research money for weather modification. . ."
Kind of makes you want to vote. . . uh, which one's
fiscally conservative? Oh yeah. . . Neither.
