Chavez to "Bomb Clouds"

Due to a serious drought in Venezuela caused by El Nino phenomenon, Venezuela’s government has had to impose water and electricity rationing. Venezuela uses hydroelectric projects to produce electricity. Cubans are due to arrive in Venezuela and help to fly the airplanes over the Orinoco river in a procedure known as clouds seeding (firing silver iodine at clouds). How effective this method has been so far in other places is up for debate. Chavez’s government has been criticized for imposing water rationing in Caracas and bad planning. However Venezuelans should feel safe with such a thoughtful president who has a plan as on Saturday he said: “I’m going in a plane; any cloud that crosses me, I’ll zap it so that it rains.”
