So, here's an even better idea---harness the energy. According to the Smithsonian, an average hurricane generates 600 terawatts of energy, the entire worlds power output is about 5.2 terawatts. Grab 1% of a cat 3 storm and the entire world can have free electric power

OK going to go into my workshop and build a machine to harness the energy of hurricanes. Anybody want to buy shares of stock in my new venture? Guaranteed rate of return.
