Decades ago, Alfred Baez (physicist and father of Joan) proposed that hurricanes and/or tornadoes might be electrostatically driven. The idea being that the charge imbalance between the periphery and the center might drive the vortex. Yes folks, I'm posting something about vortices here on Vortex. When you observe all the lightning at the center of hurricanes and tornadoes, it sort of makes sense.
Recently, the UAE has been using electrostatic drones as a method of seeding clouds, significantly increasing the rainfall in that desert area. So if AB was correct, might it be possible to weaken or completely eliminate these storms by flying a fleet of these electrostatic drones around the edge of the hurricane/tornado and slowly work toward the center? I mean, if you're going to throw a lot of gubmint money at something, this has the potential to save a lot of lives, property, and tax dollars.
