Thank you for the critique! I’ll tone-down my emphases—my own impulse would have been to color-code with highlighters and side-bars, but I see that’s not what most people want, here :)
And thank you also for calling more attention to the problem—even if water spouts don’t have the muscle for it, I’m one to keep looking. A terrifying option I left behind, which still might inspire something by way of contrast: inducing the hurricane itself, further east in the Atlantic, and just try to steer it over water.
Vortices hold immense energy, yet they are relatively low-energy to nudge (research on plasmonic vortices relies upon that high ratio of held-energy to nudge-energy). Though, I doubt solutions in that vein would get as much buy-in as water spout tarps might, especially because water spouts would be a redundant system of many identical parts, instead of relying upon a single rudder for a storm.
If you have inspirations, however unusual, I am glad to hear it!

It’s really a shame, because once I got over my own hangups with regards to how English should be done, your emphasis did make it easier to read tone. But I nearly bounced off of it entirely, so if other people are similar to me in that regard the costs outweigh the benefit.
Regarding ideas to stop hurricanes, you seem to know more than I do about weather systems. I remember from googling around after Hurricane Harvey that there’s a group from Norway trying to solve the problem with a bubble curtain (a pipe run underwater that releases bubbles to bring cold air to the surface), googling around again found them here: https://www.oceantherm.no/
I was skimming their website and it looks like they’re plausibly funding constrained; I’m going to email them about posting something on the forum and/or applying for a grant.

Oh, beautiful! Thank you :) There’s so much depth of water to work with, that might easily diffuse a few degrees, which is all we need.
