The following contains spoilers for Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend Of Korra.
Lightning bending is one of the strongest abilities in Avatar: The Last Airbender, with Azula’s lightning attack nearly killing Aang for good. It’s also one of the rarest techniques, with only Ozai, Iroh, and Azula able to generate lightning on their own. Even Aang, the avatar, and Zuko could only redirect lightning. It was incredibly powerful and only used for huge moments in the story.
This is why when The Legend of Korra first debuted (and as new fans have rediscovered it on Netflix) many fans were confused why lightning bending seemed so commonplace. In Atla only a select few knew the technique, now new lead character Mako was working in a factory with many other lightning benders generating much of the power for the city.
So what happened in the span of time...
