High Voltage On The Moon-Comment

Here is a very interesting thought about high voltage on the moon. Thanks Bob for the contribution.

Since the moon soil is not an effective conductor, grounding is not an option. Think of the crater as a capacitor. If a conductive path were provided between the bottom of the crater and to moon's surface at the top of the crater it would neutralize the potential difference. You would need to attach a faraday grid at each end of the cable to collect and disburse the charge.  The larger the grid, the greater the discharge rate.
