Static electricity and lightning are not useful to humanity as they are not in controlled systems. Electricity needs to be contained within an electrical system comprised of circuits for it to be used properly and safely. A basic electrical circuit is a closed loop built out of the following: 1. An energy source that has or can create an imbalance of electrons between to two points, which is voltage. 2. Conductive material, like wires, that allows electrons to flow from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. This flow is current. 3. A load or some means of constraining electron flow. Without a load or some kind of way of restraining electron flow, the electron difference created by the energy source will quickly reach zero.
