   If you want to be pedantic, all power is ultimately gravity power.   
   I was going to say all power is ultimately solar, but even the   
   fusion that powers stars (and creates the radioactive metals used   
   in nuclear power) is the result of gravity compressing the star's   
   contents.  But that's not what anybody normally means when talking   
   about solar.

   I firmly do NOT want to be pedantic, it hinders analyzing and solving   
   problems. Although I have a science degree that covered Thermodynamics and   
   several years of Physics I "gravitated' to practical engineering, expanding   
   the scribbled dreams of Ph.D. theoreticians into fleshed-out designs,   
   building them and making them work. Do you remember me as jsw@mitre.org?
