Is it really impossible?

About a decade ago an astrophysicist friend of mine told me that you can store lightning energy into some kind of a supraconductor, the problem being that we don't know how to take the energy out.

I believe he described something similar to [Superconducting magnetic energy storage](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_magnetic_ene...)
