sailingdog summed it up in a nutshell. Carbon conducts (though poorly compared to aluminum) while resin is an insulator. As a result you have extreme temperature differences that causes severe expansion and contraction at dissimilar rates. Its almost the same thing as distressing a fiberglass laminate. The glass separates away from resin bonds and you hare left with loose threads of glass. If I remember correctly the list goes: When it comes to lightning, wood explodes, carbon splinters, and aluminum conducts to ground. The problem then is the ground...
Anyone try out those funky bottle brush things that are supposed to "dissapate" the earth born lead charge to prevent a strike?
