Because that would be tampering with nature in a very dangerous way. Hurricanes release vast amounts of pent-up energy. If they were not allowed to develop, that energy would have to find another outlet, which might be even more destructive. Some attempts to artificially dissipate hurricanes in the 1960's had very poor and unreliable results.

It's actually been attempted. In the 1960s and 1970s, the US government attempted to weaken hurricanes by seeding the clouds to disrupt the storms' heat engine in a project called Stormfury; it didn't work. Other ideas, like dragging icebergs under hurricanes or covering the ocean beneath a storm are so resource intensive as to be impractical.

Because it would need a finely controlled use of a huge amount of force. So far, forces in that range are not under fine control as would be needed. If someone can find a way to suck the energy out of forming Hurricane and store it for later use, they would be famous.

If they do that, they woul be tampering with the earth's balance of energy distribution. What hurricanes actually do is transfer heat from the tropics to the northern hemispheres. This has been happening long before even we were here!

The force you would need to destroy a hurricane would destroy the marine life and ecosystem surrounding the area.

because the technology to do so is not yet available. scientist have yet to find ways and develop technologies to moderate the effects of hurricanes

Coz its not cheap and nearly impossible to do. When hurricanes form, only a VERY big blast will destroy it... something like a nuke. But even then, its not a sure fire way...

One, they are still learning exactly how they form. They have a good idea but it is still difficult to identify the exact when and where of major storms.
Second, we simply don't have the strength to destroy such storms. Weather patterns are much larger than any human device can alter.
