If our ionospheric layer is as fragile as many are starting to speculate, is it prudent to bombard it with spectral energy to the degree and magnitude that Power Line data systems will be capable of?
Has there been *any* "environmental impact" analyses conducted from such a perspective? I realize man's impact can be quite small, ie regulating output of industrial pollution to prevent global warming only to realize that volcanoes and other uncontrolled natural factors swamp those efforts. Keep in mind that the remote site located in Alaska under military jurisdiction containing series/numbers of transmitting antennas used to bombard ionospheric layer to experimentally change weather patterns was effective. Perhaps, just perhaps, wide spread use of energetic Power Line Data Transfer Systems will have a major deleterious effect on the ionospheric layer, and thus major impact on our global weather.
