Bill Gates' Plan to Squash Hurricanes

It may sound humorous, but it would save lots of lives and property if it can be made to work :

Microsoft's Bill Gates has already accomplished plenty in his life -- but now he's involved in an ambitious new venture -- a plan to tame hurricanes. He and several other scientists and engineers have a patent-pending project that plans to release barge-like contraptions into brewing offshore hurricanes, which would pump cold water up from the bottom of the ocean, thus calming the rough weather that's caused by warm ocean temperatures.

The Today Show did a segment on Friday that shows more details.

In the end...mother nature always wins.

Nice try by the humans though.

It would be amazing if years from now, Bill Gates' obit read "The man who pioneered weather control ... and oh yeah, also invented a minor operating system (eventually replaced by free Linux).

You just know that if the hurricanes were conquered
some comet would just appear and
blast the heck out of the Earth in retaliation.

but not before the Vulcans arrive and finally reveal themselves... and logically zap it !!!

That would be good news for Florida, But I doubt it would work

After he learns to control the weather Mr Gates proclaims himself Lord and Master over the Earth.......

The plan sounds lame... barges shooting cold water???????

I would never accept a weather control device that wasn't some sort of beam-type ray weapon.

Of course, Bill Gates is the weakest supervillain ever. It might help if he shaved his head.

Bill Gates a weak superhero? He'd just pay superman to fight for him or hit you with his wallet.

As much damage as hurricanes cause they have their purpose.
Better the devil known.
