Then what are you arguing about?
Who is arguing, idiot. You stated that as if the downward firing
'type' was of some 'other' nature, not me. And the topic IS about
"harnessing" it, which infers doing work. Your remark suggests that you
think that the cloud level stuff is incapable of doing work and that the
ground strikes are capable of it. So, it is you that needs to clarify
what YOU think static is, and what you think large accumulations of it
can be used for. All that, long before you go talking about actually
storing some of it. You are the one that needs to tell us what YOUR
definition of static electricity is.
