China to Zap rain clouds ahead of Olympic games

China has guaranteed a rain free olympics in 2008...Considering the country is usually deep in a water crisis, this may not be too hard to do...

However, the start of the olympics coincides with Bejing's rainy season so China plans to fire rockets at rain clouds in hopes to disperse them before they disrupt the ceremonies.

It is an interesting approach. An approach that I can see many scientists and countries watching to see what the outcome is.

This could impact water shortages in the future...for good and bad.
