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 [email protected]?
