    I might have these numbers off a little bit, but I learned recently that the amount of energy hitting the earth from the sun every second is equivalent to 2500 of the Hiroshima nuclear bomb going off.

    Those were not large nukes by today’s standards, but weather is powered by the sun and it should give you a relative idea of how much energy is involved.

    Basically there is farrrrr more energy in weather systems than in nukes.
