When self-defense was allowed
Before Gaia invaded large parts of science in 1975, weather control was an active subject of research, with considerable success. Hail cannons worked and still work. Cloud seeding worked and still works.
This little piece from a Gernsback mag in July 1930 shows that fog control was an active research project.
Nice combination of two subjects I've recently mentioned.
1. Lodge and his sons were attempting to use electrical charge to break up fog. They abandoned the effort after deciding that it would require WAY too much equipment and electricity to make a difference. Hail cannons and cloud seeding both require remarkably small amounts of energy and material. A few acetylene puffs, and a few pounds of silver iodide. By analogy, is there a similar solution for fog, using vortices?
2. The MIT facility at Round Hill was a gift from Colonel Green, the heir of the Hetty Green fortune. He was a dilettante but contributed tremendously to the progress and enjoyment of science through gifts of money and property.
Self-defense from weather has been prohibited since 1975. All the old research has been memoryholed, even though hail cannons are still protecting European vineyards.
In 2020 self-defense against disease joined weather. We no longer have immune systems, so we must do what we're told, no matter how crazy and holocaustal the tellers are. Ours not to reason why, ours but to die and die.
Immediate answer to the question: Yes, fog control worked.
