Climate change doesn't seem to make hurricanes more frequent. Large area 
of warm sea surface - hotter than 26.5C - make those that do show up 
more powerful.

Nobody warned anybody that they should get to higher ground. Modern 
meteorology make hurricanes less deadly, because people mostly get told 
to get out in time to save their lives

Modern, roughly 40% efficient coal plants, replacing old 8% efficient 
coal plants. It actually reduces CO2 emissions, and the plants take a 
lot longer than  week to build - the planning behind that program goes 
back a long way.They are also producing about 90% of the world's solar 
cells, and putting in solar farms all over the place.

Not so that you'd notice. They are cheaper to run than internal 
combustion cars, and while they don't have the "latest thing" cachet any 
more, they are lot cheaper than they used to be.
