Protection?

Anybody else wonder why the US doesn't go out into the Carib and Atlantic and build huge barrier islands some 3,000' in the air covering hundreds of miles across to break up these storms?

Seems to me it would be one heck of alot cheaper to buy dirt and rock than everyone's homes for the next 100 years.
