What is the point of grounding your house?
All electrical distribution systems require a system earth ground for personnel safety. The ground for your home electrical system is likely a grounding rod, a 10 ft. copper clad steel rod driven into the ground and then bonded with a brass clamp and large bare ground wire to your panel. This provides a path to ground to dissipate errant current which can occur due to a circuit which "shorts out." Better it goes to ground than into you!

Why not clamp negative clamp to battery?
Because there may be a spark when you connect a jumper cable negative clamp to the battery post which can cause an explosion. Batteries emit hydrogen gas which is very volitive. Always connect the negative clamp to the engine or another ground point on the vehicle.
