To continue this, to do the bit of work you couldn't be bothered to do before making your silly pronouncements: If you used a hundred feet of 14 gauge copper wire suspended 10 feet off the ground and used a tuning coil to make it resonant at 60 hz, you could typically capture a millionth of an amp of current from the atmosphere. Never mind the voltage; it would have to be a million volts to equal one watt of power. You'd do about the same if you were going for DC power with hundreds of volts at least most of the time and a few billionths of an amp of current flow. You could actually get sparks off it in dry dusty windy conditions as static charges built up. Nothing you couldn't simply hang onto.
