This is the same stuff that's mixed with garden soil to help it retain
moisture. It's supposed to be biodegradable, and as the article
mentioned it dissolves on contact with seawater...
It cost $40,000 to use it just on a normal thunderstorm...the cost to use
it on a hurricane (which is why they're testing it) would run to at least
the hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not over a million for a really
intense storm...so in practical use, it would only be utilized for really
large, potentially killer storms....the impact of the granules on the
ocean would be minimal...
