Manipulation of the sea ahead of a hurricane?

Found this article from the New Orleans Times-Picayune to be very interesting... http://cli.gs/RYBTzZ

Bill Gates and several other engineers and scientists have a patent (actually multiple patents) pending for a tub-like device that would weaken a potentially destructive hurricane before it reaches land. The device is designed to cool the waters in the forecast path of a storm, causing it to weaken, while also having other beneficial side effects. Check out the diagram below, read the article, and let me know what you think.
