Energy has to come from somewhere. It's not like a nuclear reactor where it starts in place. With hurricanes, we're talking about the energy in area of the entire ocean being concentrated.
Better off creating hurricane-proof windmills.

If we could somehow fill the surface of the Atlantic with turbines and wave-energy machines, perhaps we could end destructive tropical storms. But the amount of energy involved is astonishing and difficult to reason about.
