One trillion watts

Nothing to do with car audio besides electricity, I'm just saying that's a hell of a lotta watts to make it daytime when it was pitch black out. It's not from our power use, it's just lightning, there was a lot last night so I took a vid. If we could simulate lightning and harness it's power we could have all the energy we'd ever need, for car audio included. A trillion watts could power one hundred million SS XXX's at RMS. If we could harness it's aftermath, thunder, that'd be amazing, sound by lightning shockwaves, made by positive & negative conductors or whatever. It would probably cause radiation though.

Why couldn't something be done with the CN Tower? It often gets hit with lightning. I wonder what size cap you would need? 
There would have to be some rediculous size electronic switch to let the power in but not drain out.

The world's largest battery bank is in Alaska.

"... providing 40 megawatts of power - enough for around 12,000 people - for up to seven minutes", it's used for blackouts. It would take 25,000 of these banks to store 1 trillion watts and the 13,760 batts take up a football field in size.
