CAN HURRICANES BE PREVENTED?

AccuWeather.com Chief Hurricane Expert Joe Bastardi predicted that the 2010 Hurricane Season would ramp up starting August 20th and it has done just that. However Russian researchers now believe they have a plan that would prevent hurricanes. They say an oil-based “detergent” could be poured on the surface of the sea, right in the path of an oncoming hurricane. The reason hurricane winds are so dangerously fast is because they’re lubricated by water droplets thrown up from the choppy surface. So, the thinking goes, an oily coat would slow wind speeds by preventing the water droplets from forming.
