Cloudbusting

Several years ago, the increasing pace of desert expansion, drought, and general atmospheric chaos prompted me to propose the development of a Desert Research Center in the arid portion of the American Southwest, with the goal of demonstrating a long-term desert greening effect using the Reich cloudbuster. During the years 1952-1956, Wilhelm Reich investigated basic energetic-atmospheric functions related to drought and desert formation, and demonstrated clear desert greening effects during his cloudbuster operations near Tucson, Arizona (1, 2).
