HAARP Amping It Up

n6kuy writes "HAARP (the High frequency Active Auroral Research Program) will be adding 132 more transmitters to bring their total number of transmitters to 180. "When the massive planar array for ionospheric research is completed in 2007, it will include a total of 180 Continental Electronics D616G 10-kW combined transmitters, which the company is upgrading specifically for HAARP," the supplier (Continental) stated. The facility is near Gakona, Alaska. The installation began in 1993 with 18 transmitters, expanded to 48 in 1998 and will grow to 180 transmitters. The final expansion will bring the HAARP array to full power, with ERP increasing from 84 dBW to about 96 dBW. 96dBW is about 4 billion Watts. There is speculation that the project is really an "effort to develop ways to jam the electronics of incoming missiles from Russia and/or China". 4 billion Watts oughtta do it."

Have you ever considered the effect of this much of an electromagnetic field on the flow of sub atomic particles in the atmosphere? Have you considered the effect of such in regards to the formation of clouds and similar. How about the effect on lightning discharges? This definitely has enough energy to affect weather events. If you short out region of the atmosphere near a thunderstorm it might well either damp or amplify depending on where the storm.

It is a published intent of the US Armed Forces to dominate the weather shortly. Obviously this could be beneficial or hazardous depending upon events and the point of view of the affected parties.
