I'm guessing it's an amount that dissipates before it hits the ground?

It looked like more than enough to not? But I'm no expert.

Maybe it falls directly into a river or on crops? You know, as long as there's no wind...

Credit where it's due:

China has a wind powered, underwater data center that reduces energy needs.

Someone in the U.S. had to have thought of this already?

With dwindling marriage rates, and more importantly, growing numbers of childless single people, I could see this gaining traction here if it works there. And holy shit would the feminist meltdown be spectacular to watch.

Prediction: If this comes here, you will see someone introduce prenups that reverses everything they are now.

First, this is a massive, massive deal.

Second, "reverse engineered" because all the experts think there's no way. Theft had to be involved.

Third, IF it's even true.
