Scientist Looks To Solar Energy To Disrupt Hurricanes
A concept would use platforms in space to collect solar radiation that would be turned into microwave energy and transmitted to earth to disrupt storms.

A retired aerospace engineer and rocket scientist is seeking a patent involving the use of microwave energy to disrupt nascent storm systems before they are able to strengthen into hurricanes. Bruce Morton, who has held engineering, business development, and defense contracting roles with GE, Lockheed Martin, and Raytheon, among others, is pursuing a concept that would use platforms in space to collect solar radiation that would be turned into microwave energy. That energy could be transmitted to earth and directed at tropical depressions.
