The dump truck, at 45 tons, ascends the 13-percent grade and takes on 65 tons of ore. With more than double the weight going back down the hill, the beast's regenerative braking system recaptures more than enough energy to refill the charge the eDumper used going up.

So the energy this truck uses is harnessed via mining and loading... Essentially this energy was stored in the ore via geological processes.

This truck uses continental drift as his fuel.

I've seen a cable lift that worked basically like that. It transferred ore down the mountain, so heavy buckets going down lifted the empty buckets back up.

Didn't Tom Scott make a video about this?

Statistically, yes.
