Is there a way to use the energy created during an earthquake?

Question

Could it be possible to use the energy created by an earthquake in order to obtain some other kind of energy?...maybe an energy that could be used proportionaly to save buildings someway somehow? I understand the amount of energy spreaded for an eareathquake is inmense and ranmdly spread it but..we already use powerful amounts of water or wind guts to generate electricity.

Answer 1

I don't think so. It is like lightning, lots of power briefly at unpredictable times and locations, but 99.99% of the time there is no power available. One big reason solar power has not become more popular is that it is "only" available 12 out of every 24 hours (by that I mean it does not work at night), so if 50% unavailable time is enough to make solar not useful, 99.99% unavailable time is WAY worse.
