I think it's foolish to try and mess with Mother Nature. We don't know what the outcome may be down the road, and there may be a reason (duh) why these things occur naturally. However, what happens when they public gets so used to it (if they indeed use it) and it works, that when a humongous storm brews and it cannot be stopped?

I don't know...I think "nature" is something you just let happen. Messing with it is like opening a Pandora's Box. You don't know what's inside until you open it, and you may not like the results.
