As to harnessing the energy of a hurricane, I was thinking of something more all-encompassing. Perhaps something that could direct a major part of the energry to an orbiting satellite/power station. How this can be done, I don't know and we are probably at least 50 years away from being able to do it technologically. However, of all natural phenomenons, hurricanes would be the best bet to tap since they have enormous energy and last for at least a week.

That makes perfect sense for mobile windmills. They would have to move a couple 1000 miles during the power grab and an extension cord would probably be inconvenient.

Neil Franks used to say that Hurricanes are nature's way of tranferring atmospheric engery to from the tropics to the northern lattitudes.
