Owning the weather

“In 2025, US aerospace forces can “own the weather” by capitalizing on emerging technologies and focusing development of those technologies to war-fighting applications.”

Should we be allowing our governments so much power to control our life? There are some controls of course like the UN treaty of 1976:

However, it does not control peaceful uses.

Like most things, it starts with our benefit, but where does it end?

I am just thinking of the power of this. Most governments abuse their power and this will affect everything, should this stuff be banned. Are there limits to what governments can control?

No.
