[quote=JSUMMERS83,295041]All skyscrapers are required by law (in the building code) to install lightning rods on the top of the building and ground them for safety. This protects people inside the building from feeling any shock and also provides a blanket of security over the city. Also, I think we don't harness the electrical power of lightning because we don't yet know how to store that much concentrated energy in such a short period of time. It would be like trying to catch 500 gallons of falling water with a tiny paper cup. Not only would you not get much water, your cup would be pretty much destroyed.[/quote]
