I understand that hurricanes get their strength from warm ocean water but do they take a measurable amount of heat from the water? ('Not going anywhere with this question, just wondering.)

        They’re already installed. We call them ocean currents, and climate change is about to wreck them.

          Sure sure, but what if we didn’t care about how nature did it and did it ourselves. I can’t see a way this could go wrong.

      Look up Atmospheric Vortex Engines. Think giant fire tornados driving turbines. The more realistic designs use waste heat but Popular Science or Mechanics had a story decades ago where someone proposed creating giant fire tornados in the desert.
