Massive delusion or the future?

Look closely at what's written on that 1st page right above the "enter the site" button... The emphasis is mine, but I think that line says it all as far as how seriously one should take this site. I mean really, stopping tornadoes with laser beams??? This is simply not real science, folks. It's a bad B movie at best, or maybe I should say C or even D movie, because I highly doubt he's ever gonna sell that script. But I'd say selling the script is what it's all about, not stopping tornadoes. I do give him props for coming right out and saying so, though.

Pffft.. Thats not even a D movie. Thats SyFy Original material.

IMO, this guy is just trolling for a rich fish. Or, maybe he's sincere - and in desperate need of a few J.C. physics courses!

Next time you have an opportunity, try tossing firecrackers into a dust devil. Yea, big whoop!
No explosive this side of an atomic bomb is going to do anything meaningful to a tornado.

Microwaves? Lasers??
Maybe Doc Brown can whip up a portable multi-Jigawatt reactor to power the thing! KiloWatt-level beams (semi practical) will do nothing more than blind people and maybe cook a few cows. The storm won't even notice.

HAH, that's great! I was thinking about this a month ago, and was wondering if others had. I don't think we're anywhere near being able to pull it off, short of using some of the most powerful explosives ever made (including sub nuclear.) And, everyone's pointed out the problems with that.

However, I always like keeping perspective of how little of human progression I've been able to witness. I am fairly certain that if humanity doesn't kill itself off, someday, someone will figure out how to interrupt a tornado. We can't even begin to imagine what technology will be like 1,000 years from now, let alone 10,000 years from now. Granted, we sadly won't be there to see it.
