We all know the destructive power of a Tornado and we have been seeing many more Tornadoes in the United States in recent seasons than ever before. Many say this is partly due to climate change and temperatures about 1-2 degrees hotter since 1925 plus the increase in Urban Concrete helping with Urban Heat inciting the clouds and causing more turbulent storms. Yet before we go placing blame let us not just consider the destructive power of these storms, as there is a positive side also. How so you ask; noting the massive devastation and deaths from these Tornadic Storm Cells?

Well I am glad you asked because you see one online think tank has recently brought up this point of contention. Yep, you guessed it wind power generators of sorts and here is what one online thinker stated recently; “I am probably displaying a significant lack of knowledge here -- can the wind and water- power of hurricanes be stored reasonably, for later use. Same with tornadoes ("Tornado Alley" in the U.S.?) -- except that their location(s) and paths far less predictable than those of hurricanes.”

Hey now we are talking and of course we better build these wind generators strong than any wind generator you ever saw right? Indeed, and perhaps we could find places where Tornadoes naturally occur and landscape the area with man-made foothills and modify the landscape and terrain to get them to occur when and where we want them and even slow them down in forward momentum to run thru a series of or a field of wind generators? It is a thought and perhaps a good one? What do you think? Well, either way; do consider all this in 2006.
