As I read this, I imagined an xkcd comic where the black hat guy builds a generator that works by capturing lightning strikes attracted by sulfur he emits.
An ask xkcd might be appropriate, where the question is asked whether the energy capture from lightning strikes attracted by sulfur would produce more energy by unit of emissions than burning fossil fuels.
Of course, I do not expect Randall Munroe to do either.
It surprised me that lightning has dropped off that much for use of a low sulphur fuels. I was aware though that at times satellite images of the ocean capture the paths of ships due to the line of clouds that form behind them as they travel.
