"Plasma = Too hot to capture/collect safely"
the point of science is to be able to do things we werent able to
we need them to study how to harness lightning safely |

| That's true. But lighting is as hot, or hotter, than the surface of the sun... |

Actually, you only come into contact with lightning for a short while, which is only long enough to burn you, and send a large amount of electricity through you. |

| A lightning strike is small, and concentrated. Where you get struck, you still have large burns, but you die because of electricity. |

| "The temperature of the air around a bolt of lightning is about 54,000° Fahrenheit (30,000° Celsius), which is six times hotter than the surface of the sun." |
