. . . just a little weeding humor -- honest.

Any weather complaints directed at the project would need to be proven, and that would require the lawyer(s) actually understanding weather-patterns. As well as the process employed at the test-bed.

On the other hand, since the issues would be across whole communities and not from individual persons, the demand for retribution from the project would be via the political machine, and we all know how well that runs. Careers would be in danger in the area of Capitol Hill, to such a level that the project would never get off the ground.

We feel bad when the media shows second/third world nations in draught and flood, but it’s an entirely different matter when it comes to actually trying to change the cause of the situation. Although a <going out on a limb here>properly run, properly documented, properly supervised study and test</going out on a limb here> would run into problems, they would not be nearly what you imply.

One solution to the possibility, though, would be to make the project an international endeavor, one that would balance the weight of complaints across many shoulders.
