Re:Ask HN: Is gravity a renewable energy source by wwalser on Saturday August 27, 2016 @10:22PM (#12375038)
Gravity isn't an energy or a source of energy. It's more like a spring or magnet than sunlight or heat. Gravitational forces can be used to store energy, similar to compressing a spring. Bill Gates talks about this principle toward the end of an interview about his energy investments[1].
