Abstract
The transformation property of gravitational energy under scale transformations is presented in the context of a general asymptotically flat space‐time. The relevance of scale transformations to the sign of gravitational energy is discussed. Arguments for the positive‐definiteness of gravitational energy are presented and criticized.Keywords
