Capturing and storing electrical charge from lightning

How did you find PF?

I found PF while doing some research on where i could find help

Hello, I came up with an idea which may not be original, but I find that it's not spoken about enough, and that is turning lightning into electricity or storing the electrical charge from lightning and storing it in a battery. See, one problem is I'm not good at science, but I'm open to learning, of course, but even though I know that this is very inefficient, this is one of those things where the journey may be more valuable than the end result, like, for example, a better understanding of weather, technological advancements in battery technology and in the technology in conductors and just the overall understanding of electricity. I don't really know; those are just my thoughts, though.

Welcome to PF.

Go ahead and start a thread in the Classical Physics or Electrical Engineering forum to ask your questions about storing the energy from lightning strikes. Please post links in your thread to the reading you've been doing so far. Thanks.
