Any source? Cuz this sounds interesting
- Sure, sorry for my late reply. I stumbled across the second article published by the "Independent" but I also found an older "Guardian" article about it which I'd like to put first for timeline reasons.

  (I really hope my sources are good, bc whilst I have an overview about high and low quality newspaper in German, I'm lacking that overview in English)
I am struggling to believe there is that much energy in rain compared to solar. For starters, it is sunny for hours most days. It only rains most places in the US a few hours a month total.
- The entire planet isn't just America.
- Falling rain carries the power of gravity.
  
  Also, in places where there’s little rain, there’s a lot of sunlight. So what’s your point here?
  
  What's the difference between falling rain and rain?
