This is a serious problem. Here is a possible solution to this problem. Static and current electricity are not stuff, they are not energy. Instead they are subject areas, they are groups of things which happen. Weather is not made of H2O molecules or nitrogen or light rays, yet weather involves water, and air, and sunlight.
Weather is a class of phenomena, it is a bunch of different things that people group together.
It doesn't really exist except in our minds. When you turn on a flashlight, the charges that are already within the wires will begin begin to flow. The light bulb lights up, and the whole thing is a current-electric happening. In professional circles it is actually called Electrostatics. Static electricity is the study of electric charges and the way they separate and combine.
