i had a idea for a complex New Renewable when a storm rolled in...
in difficulty it would be along the line of building nuclear fusion or fission reactor.
lets see if we can implement something that could harness lightning and generate 1.21 gigawatts and store it and generate huge amounts of energy from a single lightning strike, we're talking millions to billions of watts per strike.
you would need some kind of metal rod that could be built up into the sky near the clouds for lightning to hit.
you would need some sort of cable that could withstand over 1 billion volts and over 50,000 to 100,000 or more amps of electricity for a fraction of a second, and some kind of system set up if you get a strike that produces voltages and amperage's over the rating of the system can handle that would open a special relay or switch like device that can can open and close in a fraction of a second and withstand billions of volts and thousands of amps going though it to multiple ground rods to remove the extra energy.
you would need some form of advanced battery or capacitor system that could charge in a fraction of a second from a strike and discharge like a battery to store and release the energy from a strike.
you would need special transformers to step up or down the voltage from the strike and release it into the grid.

here is a link explaining how science is on the verge of possibly harnessing lightning for the grid > http://lightningelectricity.com/service/harnessing-lightning-strikes/
