Saw lot of videos and it seems pretty easy to push wire to thunder clouds to make lightning hit exactly that wire. Why not put some sort of big ass super capacitor and collect this free power for sake of humanity?

We could collect the energy in lightning if we wanted to. But it’s unpredictable, difficult to convert from millions of volts down to 240 or 120, and the biggest answer as given by others, there is only about 50 to 100 GBP contained in each bolt. So for the same cash outlay, you’ll get much more electricity back if you spend it on solar panels or wind turbines.
