...in hurricane prevention will be to channel that energy and redirect the storms.

Sunlight heats the air, evaporates water and adjusts atmospheric pressure. In the future, building a high pressure zone over land masses will keep hurricanes from moving in and destroying regions.

The power of these vortices are unfathomable, but that is simply what they are: Water and air being moved with tremendous energy. As the energy builds up, the familiar vortical shape manifests.

This vortex now ATTRACTS surrounding energy, because it carries a charge. The more energy that is added too the storm vortex, the faster the winds and the more moisture it carries.

What stops hurricanes and tornados is the discharge of energy. Landfall usually breaks up a hurricane because it expends its energy moving homes trees and other objects which subsequently absorb the energy and transfer it to the ground.

Breaking up hurricanes could be done by creating a discharge condition. In fact, hurricanes could be used as a source of energy if we learned how to tap them effectively and convert this energy into electrical power.

Here, the monsoons build up a charge when the high & low pressure meet to create winds and the charge is discharged to the ground via spectacular lightning storms. The intense heat facilitates the discharge of electrical energy between the clouds and the ground.

Immense mile high lightning rod/towers distributed over storm susceptible regions might tap a hurricanes energy quicker. These could be linked to generating stations so the energy would not be lost.

By encouraging the storm to discharge its energy electrically, the vortex gets depleted & breaks up faster.

Perhaps now such unsightly and costly "extravagances" will be considered a valuable insurance policy and positively cheap next to the costs of rebuilding entire regions.
