In lightning we hardly know the voltage level and current flown in advance. It is also not possible to predict the same.

Also if we are to generate electricity from lightning, the level of insulation required by the electrical apparatus would be very high so that they would be costly.

Lightning is of high intermittent nature so it is difficult to supply the grid with the electricity generated from lightning.

Harvesting the power of lightning has proved to be very difficult, and no one has successfully found a way. A lightning strike happens very quickly, so extremely high electrical power is involved. It is difficult to convert high voltage power to the lower-voltage electricity that can be stored. Theoretically, yes, the energy from a lightning bolt be caught and stored. Practically, no, you would never be able to build a big enough capacitor to hold the charge. There is just too much energy in a lightning bolt to harness with today's technology. although there are those that believe this fulminology machine actually exists and at this moment in time is being withheld due the enormity of its consequences?

Is thunder electricity?

Thunder is not electricity itself, but rather the sound that results from the rapid expansion and contraction of air heated by a lightning bolt. Lightning is a discharge of electricity that occurs during a thunderstorm, which can produce the sound we hear as thunder.

How does lightning create electricity?

Lightning is a natural discharge of static electricity that occurs during a thunderstorm. When a storm cloud builds up an excess of negative electrical charges at the bottom and positive charges at the top, they seek to balance out, resulting in a powerful discharge of electricity in the form of lightning. This discharge is what creates the electrical currents of lightning.
