Conspiracy nuts should be happy after the US Air Force gave official notice to Congress Wednesday that it intends to dismantle the $300 million High Frequency Active Auroral Research Programme (HAARP) in Gakona this summer.

For those who do not type in the word "conspiracy" into Google often, HAARP is seen by people who like wearing tin-foil hats as a superweapon capable of mind control or weather control, with enough juice to trigger hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes.

HAARP was a daft project created by the late Senator Ted Stevens when he had too much control over the US defence budget and little in the way of sense. The idea was to inject energy into the ionosphere to control it.

Accrording to ADN, David Walker, deputy assistant secretary of the Air Force for science, technology and engineering, said this is "not an area that we have any need for in the future" and it would not be a good use of Air Force research funds to keep HAARP going.
