Is the Earth Really Just a Conductor?

[dsky]

Dear Russ,
I got into an dicussion with a grounding expert, he claims that the Earth is just a conductor while i stated that Earth is an energy absorber. Try to think up of ways to justify my claim, posted it on General Physics.
I know it stinks, but is there any hope for my claim or should I abandon it. I've tried some post on the archive but theyre to high tech for me.
please help me, to know the correct ideas to hold.
thanks
dsky
