      Try going out in a thunderstorm and you’ll see it…I don’t recommend it though!

      The bestresource is the sun, it powers everything.Every hour, the sun radiates more energy onto the earth than the entire human population uses in one whole year. Thats everybody in the world, for a whole year.

      Its just difficult, or no very efficient to turn the sun into electricity.

      I think I agree with David on this one! Lightning (basically just Mother Nature in general) can do serious damage when it wants to.

      Some of the engineers where I work are investigating new ways to harness wave power for electricity – they seem to be doing a pretty good job of it too, check out their webpage…
