Light waves are energy. Sound waves are energy. Heck, everything in our universe is energy vibrating at different speeds. Electrons are buzzing all over the place. There must be some way to tap it without blowing ourselves up. There has to be some way to manipulate it to our advantage. Somebody is bound to figure it out sooner or later.
The atmosphere and the earth make up the two ends of a giant capacitor; how to release its store?

Heck is right. We already tap into this existing energy alot. We can collect light from the sun and convert into electricty or use as stored heat. We can tap into rivers flowing by force of gravity and convert into mechanical motion or electricity. We can tap into geothermal sources of heat or tap into wind and convert into electricity. We can tap into heat produced by nuclear reactions and convert into electricity. The list goes on and on. We need more work being done on better battery storage technology so we can make better personal use of the energy that is out there.
