In my study of alternative energy production, I've wondered about the possibility of fusion taking place in thunderstorms.
Lightning bolts produce tremendous amounts of electrical energy. This could translate into enough energy to bring about the process of fusion. It is feasible, I would think, as far as the energy requirement part of the process.
Since one product of such a reaction could be gamma rays, this discovery could open up the possibility that hydrogen fusion taking place during thunderstorms. Or could it?
Anyway, it is an intriguing thought.
