A hurricane will not form over cold ocean water, that is why hurricanes rarely form in the winter; the ocean is usually too cold.
However, you cannot simply cool ocean water like that. The amount of energy stored in the water making it warm is enormous, to great for us to ever hope to manipulate.

Does a hurricane rain ocean water or regular water?
It rains regular water. It is impossible to rain ocean water. While the moisture in a hurricane originates from the ocean, it leaves behind components such as salt when it evaporates.
Why does a hurricane weaken when it touches ocean waters?
It doesn't. A hurricane gains strength from warm ocean water. Warm water produces large amounts of water vapor, which is essentially the fuel of a hurricane. Cold water and land do not provide as much water vapor, so a hurricane will weaken if it encounters either of those.
What would happen to the strength of a hurricane if it moved over land or over a cold-water ocean?
The strength of the hurricane would decrease, as hurricanes get their energy from warm ocean water.
What is a storm that gets their energy from warm ocean water?
hurricane
Does a hurricane start on water?
Yes. Hurricanes form over warm ocean water.
What is the fuel of a hurricane?
The fuel of a hurricane is warm, very moist air. The moisture is provided by warm ocean water.
Where does the hurricane occur often?
they often occur in places close to the ocean so they can get their energy from the ocean water.
Where do hurricanes get their moisture?
The moisture that fuels a hurricane is water vapor that comes from warm ocean water.
What develops over warm ocean water a hurricane or a tornado?
A hurricane. Tornadoes are more often a land-based phenomenon.
Why does a hurricane have to begin at sea?
A hurricane requires an enormous supply of water vapor to develop. Such large amounts can only be found over warm ocean water.
Which type of storm causes the most flooding in areas located near an ocean coastline and why?
A Hurricane, because a Hurricane starts on water then off of the water into the land.
How does a hurricane generate its power?
I think it is by picking up water in the ocean and winds
