Citing conspiracy nut websites doesn't help anything.

Mining directly what is needed for black powder, salt peter I think it is? but the energy to mine it and the energy gained from using it as fuel to lift the cannonball could compete with gas power plants and all the refining and consumption. Getting the heat out of water so it its converted to to something useful may be impossible until lightning is understood.

Saltpeter is not a fuel
To make black powder you mix it with a a couple of fuels - typically sulphur and charcoal.

But, it's more sensible to just burn the charcoal in a seam engine than to mess about making gunpowder.

You seem to think that explosives are magic.
They are generally very inefficient ways to do things.

It really would be better if you tried learning science rather than pretending (to yourself) that you know better.

lightning is understood.

We have a pretty good idea how lightning works and have done for some time.

With all my patent inventions and ideas I think this is the only workable one to save the day in the north arctic where climate change is 6 times worse. and its not for profit that I share the idea. We can pressurize a lot of water into the earth's heat and cool it off like air conditioning where the steam it lets go generally radiates away and the earth but the earth absorbs heat locally in the spot that is cooled, like when a volcano goes off and the atmosphere cools for three years? so pump water in volcanoe's. Cooling the Earth pressure heat and radiating it out appears to cool the atmosphere.

Even if that could work, the shear scale would be infeasible with modern technology.
