A number of years ago, I heard a claim that there is a technology that can cause earthquakes and weather changes anywhere in the world using focused energy waves. Supposedly, three countries; the US, Russia and China have deployed the technology.
It sounded like something from a Michael Crichton story and probably is; but the weather, along with earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions, seem to have gotten weird over the past 25 years.
If you are a conspiracy theorist, the US system is supposedly in Alaska.
