Any and all documents, memos, plans, environmental impact reports, and emails mentioning "cloud seeding," "geoengineering," "geo-engineering," or "carbon capture."
I am a member of the news media and request classification as such. As my primary purpose is to inform about government activities by reporting on it and making the raw data available, I request that fees be waived.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
