Lightening
🔹Lightning is the visible discharge of electricity that occurs when a region of a cloud acquires an excess electrical charge, either positive or negative, that is sufficient to break down the resistance of air.
🔹Lightning is usually associated with cumulonimbus clouds, but it also occurs in stratiform clouds, in snowstorms and dust storms, and sometimes in the dust and gases emitted by erupting volcanoes.

○Fuel and Power (13%): like coal and electricity
