Carribean Sea as a source of electricity instead of tropical storms?

Tropical storms (hurricanes, cyclones, etc.) are caused by hot ocean water, which heats the air above it.
It may be a good idea to install power stations, which convert the heat difference between water and air into electricity.
The power stations would float on the sea and pump electricity into wires which connect them to land.

This idea can kill two birds with one stone:

  • Less damage from hurricanes and cyclones, because we are denying them some of the energy which powers them.
  • An additional source of renewable energy.

I am deaf since birth. I played with big computers which eat punched cards and spew out printouts since age 12. Ever since they became available, I work and play with desktop size computers which eat keyboard keypresses and spew out display pixels. Among other things, I developed software which helped the deaf in Israel use the telephone network, by means of home computers equipped with modems. Several years later, I developed Hebrew localizations for some cellular phones, which helped the deaf in Israel utilize the cellular phone networks. I am interested in entrepreneurship, Science Fiction and making the world more accessible to people with disabilities.
