Storms actually move fairly slowly. I would suggest placing the pump boats in the eye as it’s forming before it gets to hurricane strength.

Remember you’d just be moving already cold water which takes orders of magnitude less energy than cooling the water.

If a nuclear bomb is a trivial amount of energy compared to a hurricane, I think we can say with confidence that the amount water you're going to have to pump around will be absurd, as will be the environmental impacts.

And you'd be pumping warm water lower, thereby making the next storm worse.

I’d need to see a source on that. I’m not sure how you can assume that.

I will not provide you with a source, I don't have the time. I consider what I said basic, first-principles stuff. We two layers deep discussing an idea that is not feasible, anyway. Here is a source that the pumps will not work: http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/science/08/28/hurricanes.gates....
