* * * THE NEXT GREAT ACHIEVEMENT — ELECTRICAL CONTROL OF ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE * * *

We are on the eve of accomplishments which will be of tremendous consequence to the future advancement of the human race.  One of these is the control of the precipitation of moisture. . . . — "Rain Can Be Controlled and Hydraulic Force Provided . . . ," Syracuse Herald, ca. Feb. 29, 1920

The time is very near when we shall have the precipitation of the moisture of the atmosphere under complete control . . . THEN IT WILL BE POSSIBLE TO DRAW UNLIMITED QUANTITIES OF WATER FROM THE OCEANS, DEVELOP ANY DESIRED AMOUNT OF ENERGY, AND COMPLETELY TRANSFORM THE GLOBE BY IRRIGATION AND INTENSIVE FARMING.  A greater achievement of man through the medium of electricity can hardly be imagined.  — The Wonder World To Be Created By Electricity, Manufacturer's Record, 1915
 

IF WE COULD PRODUCE ELECTRIC EFFECTS OF THE REQUIRED QUALITY, THIS WHOLE PLANET AND THE CONDITIONS OF EXISTENCE ON IT COULD BE TRANSFORMED. . . ." — My Inventions, Electrical Experimenter, 1919    

. . . This is a fact of overwhelming importance, pointing with certitude to the final and lasting solution of all the great social, industrial, financial, philanthropic, international, and other problems confronting humanity, a solution of which will be brought about by the complete annihilation of distance in the conveyance of intelligence, transport of bodies and materials, and the transmission of the energy necessary to man's existence. —  Tuned Lightning, English Mechanic and World of Science, March 8, 1907
