Even wind energy runs into the problem of inconsistency. And I'm not sure if it's doable or if it's financially worth doing since you know, doesn't happen that often.
If we were using more alternative energy sources we could cover up for those times of inconsistency with another method of energy production.
Yea of course which is what they're doing with wind energy, supplementing it with others. But lightning doesn't even produce energy comparable to wind energy, right?
Luckie, yea but the amount put into researching the best way to harness, actually building something and then maintaining it just for a few spots in the world probably doesn't appeal to a lot of investors. Would probably invest more in developing more technology for harvesting light, water and wind.
