AccuWeather has lobbied hard to privatize weather data. However, I'm not sure who would be collecting that data if the government stopped collecting it for them.


Oh, they want the government to keep collecting it, they just want to make sure it's not provided to us citizens for free.


I would imagine (off of no solid evidence) that they'd love to see the entire system privatized including the infrastructure. Could be wrong, though.


Good to know. I will stop using their website if they are like this. Weather data should be free because its for everyone
