Thor must really like Venezuela.

UserSub already made it to New World? I guess the World Government of Front Page must be pissed.

It actually stopped for a short time due to drought and there was a serious fear it'd never start again. Luckily it did! Must see some day

So it's not a good time to travel there as a tourist to see this neat storm?

But y tho?

It's over a marsh, or close to it. Gases from the marsh, soil deposits, it's a cocktail fit to allow /just/ that and not fuck the place up.

Weird how nature do dat

Is it a safe area, like to explore? I wanna find new species of everything there, lightning frogs, lightning flytraps, birds, ants, humans.

I kinda doubt very many places in Venezuela are safe at the moment. Food riots are not a good sign.

Marty! I know where we can get the 1.2 GigaWatts! You've got to get us a boat!

I love the internet hive mind.

Is it not? That's what it looks like
HodorFirstOfHisName
That's what I'm saying. If someone is wrong someone else is bound to correct them. It's great
Imghurrr
Oh.. but that's not what hive mind means
HodorFirstOfHisName
I'll hive your mind, faggot

EdgyWhiteTeen
So I'm guessing that means I can't take a boat or a plane straight to the island without risking getting lightning powers? Darn

This seems like a high level raid zone. Don't stand in the fire!

Lol profit? Tesla already tried giving it away for free! He was shut down.... They won't let you tapped the ionosphere for all of its juices
ThomasThundersword
tbf tesla was shut down because it was free and would hurt profits so...

I assume that much voltage would fry everything.

Static electricity can't be stored.
madetheaccountjustforyou
Bullshit it can't.
HypnoChanger
Good luck setting up the lightning rods in the middle of active lightning storms though.
DefunkMyJunk
Main limitation would be the internal resistance of batteries (you can't charge fast enough) and also the low capacity 1/2
DefunkMyJunk
You'd need a few MWh worth of batteries for it to be useful
Nccoffee
????
tryinghardtobeclever
No because then there won't be any lightning left and it'll probably cause global warming
MouseTheFooDog
Gold. Well done.
Boooooooooognish
Just like how those wind farms are slowing down the wind.

I also enjoyed this immensely, well done.

Well, now I gotta go visit Venezuela

Might want to hold off for a year or so.
xPotatoxSaladx
PS. I was born a raised there!
xPotatoxSaladx
A year won't cut it, sadly. It'll have to hold for like 10+ years. The country won't get back to regular conditions within the next 20 yrs.
d0o0o0d
Yeah, it'll be a long time getting back to normal, but I think the worst will be past a year from now.
