yes, so much energy wasted. I'm sure someone will invent something how to store this energy and everyone will have lightning catchers in their yards

#2 & #4 Thats a good idea in theory but in reality its like trying to catch 10,000 footballs all kicked at the same time. you would be lucky to store 0.1% of the energy.

Lightning delivers a lot of energy over a very short period of time. You could power a 100W bulb for several hours from a single bolt of lightning, but the cost of the apparatus necessary to capture and store the high-voltage discharge for conversion to low-voltage continuous power would dwarf a simple photovoltaic array that would power the bulb indefinitely.

#9 Just one bulb for several hours? And the rest mate. One strike could power a 100w light bulb for 3 months or power an average house for a week. But, like people have already said, we just can't catch that power to use it.

Rather we dont really have the resources around yet to effectively harness the power.
