I might be easier to just build hurricane-proof houses. Everyone on the coast has to live in quonset huts.

It would be less lily to do much to the hurricane than it would to absorb/deflect some of the energy of the storm surge, as do natural barrier islands.

Epic

Why not fill in the whole Gulf of Mexico? You can't have any hurricanes if you don't have any warm water to feed them energy.

>>9164730
In theory, yes. Environmental damage would be astronomical.

>>9164767
With enough wind turbines you can extract the energy out of the wind.

A better way would be to build gigantic ocean thermal power plants that lower the surface temperature. As long as you are below 27 C you are safe.

This would also leave you with enormous amounts of distilled fresh water in addition to hideous amounts of electric power.

What if we dammed the gulf.

>>9165459
... it would overflow with sewage from the rivers. Next it would heat up and with no cold water entering you would have the mother of all hurricanes.

So, a literal shit storm?

Yes, the ultimate one, and no fan needed.
