A hurricane unleashes more power than humanity is currently harnessing. I doubt we figure out how to do anything that only works locally.



Yeah, I wonder when will we have a hurricane sized wind generator (with a huge set of batteries or other storage facility)


Not just that you can't predict where the hurricanes will go, you can't really have a pop-up generator to extract power from a hurricane can you.

It is a bit extracting power from lightning strikes, it isn't going to be a good return on investment.


But hurricanes are big and affect a large area (you might be thinking of Tornadoes)

Not easy, but maybe doable
