I know that hydrogen has the potential of future power sources.  I know 
that one bolt of lightning has enough energy to produce much hydrogen if 
its power could be haressed.  If lightning power could split hydrogen and 
oxygen from water it could be the answer for an inexpensive production of 
hydrogen.  Thank you for your time.
