Control of lightning is a dramatic challenge to nature. The lightning attacks to the electric power line make a lot of economical loss in the sophisticated modern society since electric power failure induces a lot of trouble in the computerized systems even if it is very short time. If the lightning could be controlled one will be free from such a trouble and save the cost expensed for electric power failure guard system. The scenarios and issues of laser triggered lightning are reviewed presenting some experimental results as well as the mechanisms and types of lightning, characteristics of the long gap electric discharge and some results of triggered lightning by rockets.
