How could we build GIANT LIGHTNING CAPACITORS to collect energy from thunderstorms for our uses later?

Question

Would this be an efficient use of GREEN ENERGY in your opinion?

Answer 1

It takes time to charge a big capacitor. A lightning stroke typically lasts considerably less than a second. I'm not sure how much of the energy a big cap could gather but perhaps over mulitple strokes it might be a viable idea.

Answer 2

i belive we have these

BUUUT

im not completely sure

either i read about it somwhere

or i thought about it and my imagination ran wild lol

in my opinion it would be highly eficient in highly

lightining storm reactant areas

as 1 bolt of lightining carries enough power to run a small town

Answer 3

Energy from lightning is extremely powerful, and therefor can not  yet be captured and stored. If and when technology allows us to capture the amazing power; One storm could power New York City for a week. So yes this would be the best, I repeat, best source of energy out there.
