Yes, one inventor believes he can harness lightning and use it to
dissociate water. Unfortunately, the average power from lightning is
quite low over time.
I'll see if I can dig up the reference.

There was a fairly interesting general review of "Mega" lightning on
the National Geographic channel last night. Very few specifics, lots of
generalities. The one thing I did glean is that there is a lot of power
being produced in the atmosphere.
Is anyone doing any work on harnessing lightning these days? It seems
like we live in the middle of a giant generator, when you think of it.
I've always looked at natural geological activity as a possible source
for alternative energy, but the program has me musing on natural aerial
activity as a source of energy.
