A six year drought in California was finally declared over this year but the threat for the south-western state as well as other locations in the world remains the same.

But scientists may now be able to induce rain and lightning storms using high energy lasers in a breakthrough that could potentially eradicate droughts throughout the globe.

The key word missing in the headline - POTENTIALLY.  It also seems scientists could POTENTIALLY do great damage, too.

What could go wrong?

Then again, ain't nuthin' folks haven't tried before.

The Sun drives the rain cycle, so I can see how this may be possible.

I remember a Des Moines Register article in the early 80's where this reporter interviewed a Russian inventory with a machine that, with some sort of electronic wand, he could point it at the sky and generate clouds and rain. The reporter watched him do it repeatedly.

Not surprisingly, never heard a thing about it again.
