每年，闪电造成的损害会给美国电力公司造成超过1亿美元的损失。
Lightning damage costs American power companies more than $100 million a year.
美国电力研究协会（EPRI）负责闪电项目的经理拉尔夫·伯恩斯坦说：“我们可以用火箭让闪电打到我们想要的地方。”
"We can cause the lightning to strike where we want it to using rockets," says Ralph Bernstein, manager of lightning projects at EPRI.
每年，闪电都会导致死亡，因为它可以引发大火，或者是因为它达到28000的温度。在美国，每年有1000人被闪电击中，其中大约100人因此而死亡。
Every year, lightning kills people because it can start big fires or because it reaches a temperature of 28,000. About l,000 people are hit by lightning every year in the United States, and about 100 of them die as a result.
