@bencourtice @Nikki I'll grant you tidal I guess, but how does one make use of gravitational? I've seen it used as a type of storage battery by pumping water up to a high location and then using gravity to release that energy, but that's once again just a way of storing some other energy source.
@me Yes, there are tidal turbines in some places, but limited applicability.
Geothermal is partly stored heat from the gravitational accretion of material to form the planet (and partly nuclear, from decay of radioactive isotopes)

We can even say we use a fusion reactor
