Seems to my ignorant eyes that we could always somehow split the power received into more manageable units, even if it has to be splitted a million times, 🤷‍♂️.

    Lighning to a power generator is what atomic bomb is to a nuclear reactor. If you had no means of predicting when and where the bomb will go off.

    There are so many better options.

      More like a fire cracker compared to a nuclear reactor, lightning isn’t all that powerful.

      You couldn’t predict it, but you can kind of coax where it will strike with lightning rods. If you could send the power to a battery of some kind to be discharged when needed, that’d be handy. Never hurts to have extra energy lying around in storage.
