      Read Echopraxia! Genius monks have exactly that in the desert powering their facility.

    Of course we could. However, a normal lightening bolt contains around 100 dollar’s worth of electricity. The cost of the equipment to capture and convert that power would be 100’s of thousands of dollars. Combined with the uncertainty of the supply, it’d be a heck of a vanity project.
