Bill Gates of Microsoft envisions fighting hurricanes by manipulating the sea

If you thought domination of the world’s software market was cool, get a load of Bill Gates’ next technological vision: giant ocean-going tubs that fight hurricanes by draining warm water from the surface to the depths, through a long tube.
A second tube could simultaneously suck cool water from the depths to the surface.
Microsoft founder Gates and a dozen other scientists and engineers have a patent pending for deploying such vessels, which they say would collect water through waves breaking over the walls of the tub. Some variations have the water moving through turbines on their way down, which would in turn generate electricity to suck up the cooler water.
As many as 200 vessels could be placed strategically in the predicted path of a hurricane, and they could be designed to be reused or to sink in place and decompose underwater. The vessels could be moved into place by towing or by dropping from airplanes.
A second patent application describes how part or all of the cost of building and maintaining the hurricane-killer ships could be raised by selling insurance to coastal residents whose risk would be reduced by using the new system.
The hurricane-killing ideas, contained in a half-dozen related patent applications, were made public by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on Friday, with Gates listed as one of the inventors on each. The applications were submitted by Searete LLC, a subsidiary of Intellectual Ventures of Bellevue, Wash., and created by former Microsoft executives to both buy up existing patents and develop patent applications for new ideas.

This is another scheme to take your money “by selling insurance to coastal residents” why the fuck do I want to pay more for insurance! I am already force to take the state insurance which is by law and design 30% higher that private insurance.

These temperature variances in the ocean will destroy aquatic wildlife adapted to the original, colder temperatures!!! THIS IS BULL

What a crock of shit.
Cold water sinks, warm water rises. It is like air.
What a jerk! Only the chucklefucks at the Patent office (or EPA) would buy that one!

well if you stand for depopulation this of course isn’t the way, just let nature do it’s job
so what could the real motivation be… hmmm
my gut feeling: control the sea, prevent people fleeing away from the US, a military weapon in disguise

wow are these guys mental? there is no way you could get that many devices in the ocean to even think about lowering the temperature by any amount. damn this is clearly another grab for money. how dumb are we to think we can control nature?

I have always been fascinated by the convoluted logic people apply to and are subjected to by the power players behind the invisible curtain of power. However, I do not believe this is really a bid by the ‘NWO’ to control or depopulate the planet. Maeryn raises an valid point, but I believe this to be a far better idea than Windows Vista.

What happens when the bottom of the ocean is warmed up?
These scum need to learn they don’t own the rest of us.
Having money does NOT mean a damned thing. As a matter of fact just about every rich person I’ve ever met was so messed up in the head I couldn’t see how they could tie a shoe lace let alone “run” anything.
Being rich isn’t bad but when it becomes your god….well you’d be better off cutting your hands off than allow money to be your god.

A second tube might suck, but gates is the force behind it.

I stopped using EugenicsSoft crapware a long time ago. If you buy anything from Microsoft or a PC which comes with Windows, you fund a eugenics front. Use free software, and the eugenicists don’t get your money.

Last summer in the u k we had about 3 weeks of sun and the rest of the time ” thick ” clouds!
I have only known a bout chem trails the last couple of months.
Although i did know that the they could control the weather (to an extent) and I did believe that a few years ago I witnessed a incident.
I went to Leeds after hearing of a rave on the BBC ,and they also had a big stage there i live in London and that’s quite far,people went from all over the country mix mag reported 300,000
people went there.
a f`in lot of people ,all in round hay. it was thick cloud all day but at the exact time it was supposed to finish it totally thrashed it down and i mean thrashed it down,for about an hour.
I ABSOLUTELY BELIEVE THIS WASN`T NATURAL
I THINK IF IT DIDN’T SMASH DOWN SO HARD THERE WOULD HAVE DEFENATLY BEEN CIVIL UNREST , THERE WAS ALMOST A RIOT WEN THE MUSIC SWITCHED OFF
I have always thought they made it rain , and whatever else we got sprayed with.
and me and my mrs have always said it didn’t feel right , now I realize why.
YOU CAN NORMALLY TELL WHEN ITS GOING TO RAIN THIS JUST CAME OUT OF NOWHERE.

vista is a joke ! pure junk and they based the new os on it . what a bunch of idiots they have become with the riches. i am using ubuntu and i install it on all my machines i dont use a virus scanner because i dont need one

Aren’t hurricanes necessary? Don’t they play a huge part in the natural way things work? Nature works just fine, its our minds and attitudes we have to work on, the government is irrelevant now, we know what we have to do: speak loud enough for everyone to hear, we have to get peoples minds activated and looking for answers for themselves. Anarchy through intelligence and free sharing of information is the ONLY way this world will work for everyone equally. If you don’t want equality, be prepared to deal with the wrath of the billions who have nothing.

Don´t worry….this machines run with Windows Vista.

Wow maybe we can put a cork in the next volcano about to erupt, thus reducing global warming. LOL. Stupidity of the sheeple never amazes me
