Just because I posted this thread doesn’t mean that I would ever support nuking a hurricane. The article also reminded me of the planned “Atoms for Peace” program of the 1950s ... the idea was to use nukes to carve out canals in land bridges.
I merely found the article and the idea interesting and I looked forward to reading some FReeper feedback.
The article further mentions the futility of of such an idea ... a nuke carries a very very small percentage of the energy existing within a hurricane. To quote the article:
“So bombing a hurricane might be about as effective as trying to stop a speeding Buick with a feather.”

When you post an article, people are going to respond to the title just like I did. Don’t take it personal just because your post is the first opportunity responders have to click on the “reply” button.
Yeah.. I thought it was interesting too. that’s why I read your post and responded to the idea... not you.
I could just see the look on the scientists faces after the nuke goes off and the hurricane keeps coming.
like... OOPS!
