Most earth weather and ionosphere-space environment coupling studies separate the problems into distinct groups. Heliosphere to solar wind - solar storm activity to ionospheric coupling - thermosphere and mid- altitude to the ionosphere and electrical effects such as elves and sprites and thunderstorms in another group - additionally mid and high latitude weather systems are many times separated also. The theoretical work here shows that not only are these areas coupled and related, but it also shows that without the constant electrical and resulting magnetic driving forces from space environments, earth would have little if no weather variability at all below the ionosphere. With only solar light energy as input, earth (and the other planets) would have little weather at all. The realization that extensive electrical activates occur in and above the troposphere, extending to the ionosphere and ultimately coupling to the magnetosphere have raised the theoretical and experimental questions regarding the sources of EMF which create the observed effects. The current work has identified 17 Local Electrical Batteries (LEBs), which provide the electrical EMF that can be linked to the observed effects the jet streams and lower atmospheric weather phenomenon. The path of the sources of EMF can be followed from the passing solar wind through "tunnels" that end in electrical currents that pass into the atmosphere via the ionosphere to storm cloud systems in the lower atmosphere. However the source of energy comes from localized plasma discharging of a non-uniform plasma environment that powers the electrical systems of the entire solar system. These are ultimately the sources of electrical energy that power the severe lower atmospheric storm systems such as westerly moving hurricanes at low latitudes and associated tornadoes. The connection is made theoretically with the solar wind that drives the 17 identified LEBs. The ultimate source of driving energy is the result of an excess current of protons in the solar wind, which creates an overall capacitor with inherent non-uniform electric field surrounding the Sun. On a local scale the voltage gradients are quite low, but all objects in this solar capacitor, including the planets and their moon systems, discharge this capacitor over extensive trans-planetary distances, thus creating excessive current flows, which also respond to CMEs and solar flares which carry a far greater potential gradient in the passing solar wind. The key to understanding reactions to non-uniform electric fields in the LEB environment is based on the fact that planetary Debye shielding takes on a new form, which is extended from that of the neutral environment typically considered in previous theoretical models. An attempt is made to solve the fundamental problem of the source of energy that drives these systems. The effects of moons and their positions relative to the planet and solar wind, as well as multiple planetary electrical alignments, are shown to contribute to the overall discharge phenomenon. A connection is made between these energy sources and cyclonic storms, earthquakes and volcanic "trigger" mechanisms. The goal of this research is to create an overall space weather model that couples the single energy source (the non-uniform plasma environment of the Sun created by an excess current of positive charge in the solar wind) to the earth's magnetosphere and ionosphere (and other planetary environments) and ultimately to the low altitude weather systems.
