Busting Hurricanes with self-powered ocean currents.
There are any number of ways to engineer such a system. It's not a new concept, and it can definitely be made to work.
Yes, it changes a 'natural' phenomena...so did building cities for millions of people along the coasts.
The easiest protection from hurricanes would have been to avoid insuring property in hurricane zones.
I am rather tired of the argument about interfering with 'natural events."
Such interfering is what Life does. That's Life's 'natural process."
I'd go further.
I think we should cool the surface of the entire Caribbean using deep Pacific Ocean water.
This could reduce the current ecosystem damage due to high water temperatures, reduce the impact of tropical storms, provide power and food for Central America, and has the potential to moderate global climate.
It's cheap, fast, easy, profitable too!
(US$10 billion, 7 years, existing tech provides power & food.)
