possibly retarded question:

How much energy is stored in your average cloud over a given surface/volume and over a given length of time say a day, and can we replicated this phenomenon by pumping salt water or other water based solutions on 2 opposite sides of a membrane.

the 2 solutions would similarily to the clouds, be of different pressure, temperatures and of opposite charges with a hopefully high difference between the 2 to achieve enough power to harnes the electricty potential difference as current.

apparently there are salt water batteries attempting this idea, but I was thinking more of a generator.
