Things are only far fetched until you explore them and discover their veracity or their falsity. It is easy to dismiss an idea and roll out the tin foil in derision. It is harder to look at the idea and work to prove or disprove it.

Such a generator would not need to be in west Africa as much as it would need to be able to focus on western Africa and have the capacity to track. There are a variety of possibilities with that.

And then you explore them, and discover that they're still ridiculous.

You know, there are many geniuses who were taken for idiots. But there are many, many more idiots who were taken for idiots.

It is harder to look at the idea and work to prove or disprove it.

In this case, it really isn't very hard to disprove. Do you have the remotest idea of how much energy is in a hurricane? Do you think it's possible to control and direct such energy without making any sign of it? Do you believe that technology to do that could be developed and tested, without anybody noticing, without any papers appearing in science journals?

Such a generator would not need to be in west Africa as much as it would need to be able to focus on western Africa and have the capacity to track. There are a variety of possibilities with that.

Really? Go ahead, let's hear them. I'm all ears.

Any nation with the technology and capability to control hurricanes would not ever need to use them. The energy in a hurricane, measured using the total amount of energy released by the condensation of water droplets (one of two ways of measuring hurricane energy), comes to around 200 times the world-wide electrical generating capacity. Note ....world-wide AND 200 times that. Thus the notion of a 'generator' being able to control such a maelstrom is, to simplify things, rather ludicrous. However the main point is not whether or not it is possible. And it is not. The chief factor is that IF it was possible the nation possessing such capabilities would not need to use guile and covertly send hurricanes bearing down on us. They could simply waltz in an take over, and there is nardly anything we could do to stop them. For example to 'control' a hurricane they would have to be able to make use of energy sources that are just immense in terms of energy released. For example harnessing, somehow, anti-matter to matter annihilition energy production. The only problem is moving that stuff from theoretical physics to reality takes a tad bit more than some 'metereologist' claiming the Ruskies are sending storms a-blustering up the US of A. Again, any nation with such tech would not bother with subtlety ....they would just barge in.

This claim is nothing more than a big, stupid, and rather ill-timed, load of nonsense.

Oh, and maybe now the next spiel will be that the explosion in Tunguska Siberia in 1908 was due to Ruskie research in anti-matter energy.
