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?

While lightning has an immense amount of Voltage, the Amperage is rather low, not to mention the the extremely short time of that energy… The total Wattage is not that high…. It looks powerful, it can start fires and hurt puny waterbag humans, but building capacitors capable of handling that voltage, would not yeild much usable energy.
A powerplant with constant rate of power would produce more usable energy than lightning storms.
