I found a research paper about this, and tried to download the abstract... [waits for it...]

If I generate someone electricity I EXPECT TO BE PAID.

Well, to make it generate electricity, you’d have to hit it...

Presumably you’ll save on taxes, if the electricity can be used to generate heat to melt the ice and snow and dry off the cement when it rains.

Well I was thinking of concrete statues that shock the living heck out of any rioter who tries do deface them or tear them down.

In the mid 60s dupont installed new carpet samples in the library.
The engineers watched the 4 inch static electricity arcs from newhire hands to the metal door rails
Usually they used the glass after that

Beat me to it. I was going to say that it sounded like a piezo-electric capacitor. Sort of a artificial crystal (in action, not in form)

Ow she's a brick a cement-based conductive composite (CBC) hoooouse
She's mighty-mighty, just lettin' it all spark out
She's a piezoelectric house
That lady's stacked and that's a fact
Ain't holding nothing back
Ow, she's an power house
Well put-together, everybody knows
This is how the story goes house
That lady's stacked and that's a fact
Ain't holding nothing back

A very similar concept was tried in Tokyo, Japan, 20 years ago using mats in the subway train platforms. The idea was to pick up the energy of feet hitting the platform all day long.
Since most have never heard of that, we know how the experiment worked out. I expect this to go the same way.

“far lower than the maximum allowable”
Those words don’t inspire confidence.
