We build 1 million lightning rods and use lightning to provide elecricity. There are approximately 2,000 thunderstorms at any given moment worldwide. One strike has enough energy to light 150,000,000 light bulbs. One storm can discharge enough energy to supply the entire U.S. with electricity for 20 minutes

A moderate thunderstorm generates several hundred megawatts of electrical power. It still won't solve peak oil, unless we have cars like you see in this u-tube video link

You should read up on Tesla and maybe earth batteries. It is interesting stuff. http://www.linux-host.org/energy/tearth.htm
