POPSEmpire State Building Lightning strikes

 Saw a clip on Empire State Building Lightning strikes by ericw, and followed the link suggested by wiccantexan. I wondered, whether with the energy consumption of New York, and the tendency of of the Empire State Building to act as a lightning rod, can this electricity be stored or redirected to the power grid, rather that just being earthed. Seems like we'd just have to introduce it to a detour,and consolidate it with an insulating channel that could be created with a computer generated polymer, and a variable resistor that would respond to current fluctuations, and distribute the charge using a cascade effect so the current has multiple potential pathways. We need to split the charge as it strikes, and allow sequential switching to multiple lines as each becomes saturated. It's just that first short sharp shock. The best way to reduce an impact's effect is to spread it over a greater relative area Lightning seems like the sort of elementary force that we just have to redirect.
