Laugh then!

Dammit Eddie! No wonder it's been raining so hard here lately! You just made me have to mow my lawn for the second time this month yesterday!

At least you're better off than Louisiana. I'm cutting the grass twice a week now.

It would be amusing to run some adventures set in Alaska where the PCs (either Western or Soviet) gradually discover that the entire purpose of the Soviet invasion of Alaska was to capture or destroy the HAARP facility, being convinced it was some sort of US super weapon, only to find out eventually (and at ridiculous cost) that it's just a cool energy hog that generates some cool aurora borealis locally.

that it is in fact an evil super villain wet dream machine that can generate storms ,droughts,earthquakes etc etc and then they can try to get control of it themselves and try their hand at super villainous life.

Well, that could mean that it has some intact or even functioning high-capacity generators on-site.

Don't forget the Soviet installations, Duga 1, 2 and 3. I think number 3 was better known as the Russian Woodpecker
Here's the wiki link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Woodpecker
Here's the weirdo link http://www.philipcoppens.com/woodpecker.html
He mentions psychotronics which is completely bogus, in the last twenty years the term has changed it's meaning from some type of psychic transference energy weaponry to some sort of mind-control device.
I personally think a mind-control device is boring as batshite but the earlier meaning was far more interesting. Allegedly a psychotronic device could transfer the energy of an explosion to a target site via remote means so if you had a photo of the target, a weapon could be detonated within the psychotronic field in the deepest, darkest forest of Siberia for example and then delivered to the target where-ever else in the world it may be in a split second
Oh and it could also control the weather but doesn't everything conspiracy related these days

That doesn't even make sense to me; maybe some advanced civilization who understands laws of physics we don't know could do it, but I doubt even that one. It sound like something a five-year-old came up with. I'll have to check out that particular conspiracy theory so I can have a good laugh!

EDIT: OK, these people are definitely our kin. They've been playing too much Dark Conspiracy!

I remember hearing the Russian Woodpecker on the shortwave bands in the 1970s and 1980's. Some radios even had a special filter to filter out it's noise.
