Very much this..
A good passage from wikipedia on this:
Quote:

Scientists estimate that a tropical cyclone releases heat energy at the rate of 50 to 200 exajoules (10e18 J) per day,[28] equivalent to about 1 PW (10e15 watt). This rate of energy release is equivalent to 70 times the world energy consumption of humans and 200 times the worldwide electrical generating capacity, or to exploding a 10-megaton nuclear bomb every 20 minutes.

And you are trying to pull energy out of the system, not add.
