A startup falsely blamed for triggering floods pitches cloud seeding to lawmakers
Rainmaker Technology is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on lobbying and gold-framed Metro ads in a play for national attention.
Rainmaker is running a $100,000 Metro ad campaign as part of a larger influence effort by the cloud-seeding startup.
Itβs a case study of how in the Trump era, itβs better for a startup to be talked about in Washington β even inaccurately β than not known at all. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Trees use predominantly summer water in the Ressi #experimental #catchment.
Thank you to Giulia Zuecco for leading this work!

During the growing season, soil and plant water had a dominant summer origin but seasonality had a major role on their temporal origin.
