I wonder, if that was done, how much energy would be transferred from the atmosphere (condensing water vapor transfers a huge amount of energy as heat), and what impact that might have on climate instability. I also wonder if there’s a way to transfer the heat energy to somewhere “safer”, like underground, or even turn it into useful energy.

And if these could be used in places that aren’t as bone dry, even better. I mean all the big powerful storms have been bigger and more powerful because of all the extra moisture in the air… if we could throw these everywhere, pull some of that moisture out, and use it to supply potable water instead of drawing from reservoirs, that seems like it might be a many-win option.
