I don't think we will have as many, but I think it could be worse. Living in Florida, I want to point out there is a HUGE difference between quantity and quality in the case of hurricanes. Judging the season by the number of storms is not accurate.
Last year in Florida we had a lot of tropical storms, but we just stayed in the house and wait them out. It wasn't that bad for us (Katrina didn't hit us that bad.) The year before that we had 4 major ones hit near us (I think) and it was bad.
I'll try to take pictures and videos when we have them (safely inside or during an eye if we have one again) if you guys want. Hopefully I won't lose power for two weeks again.
Conservation of Energy will say it takes at least as much energy to bring the weight up as it will exert when pulled down by gravity. Also, more will we wasted in heat, sound, etc. Therefore, you would need a more than 100% efficient system to make it work.
It seems that the shuttles will be replaced fairly soon anyway. Also, if you ever get the chance, come to Brevard and watch the shuttle launch. It is very exciting to watch the shuttle in the sky (not on tv) and look for the rocket boosters falling.
We have come to the point where we are more powerful than other animals. We can do as we please and kill what we want easily. This is not nature. Nature is not trying to kill them. And people are killing them by instinct, they are killing them for sport. This comes from a much more conscious part of the brain. I would also argue there is no mother nature and no one knows the future but that is irrelevant here.
