No! It would be tricky, but in theory a bolt of lightning has enough energy to toast 160,000 slices.

Now somebody just needs to work out how to transfer that energy to your toaster.


Some of the energy of a storm cloud can be released as a lightning bolt.

We can see and hear this happening as a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder.

We see the lightning before we hear the thunder because light waves move faster than sound waves.
