Rolla, ND
Just the latest mix a little truth in with a great big lie and some farmers will buy it.

Lightning does produce plant avaiable nitrogen. A few lbs a year on an acre.

Norsk hydro did this with artificial lightning to produce nitric acid which was used as fertilizer.

There has been continued work on it. To be economical you just need really really cheap electricity.

Nitric acid is not more effective than other nitrogen fertilizers and indeed, if you managed to get any significant nitrogen production from their system, it would probably be a good defoliant.

Save your money to get a better rate of return buying lottery tickets.
