How is it that the earth contains infinite quantities of free electrons?
It is a natural phenomenon maintained by the HUGE electrical activity of thunderstorms (more than eight million lightning strikes per day around the globe). Our planet is big and all that mass allows Her to hold a lot of “juice”. It is estimated that if all thunderstorm activity on earth ceased, electrons would cease to flow in the earth in less than one hour. I can not verify that supposition, but it is thought provoking.
