Reply To: May one use an escalator on shabbos?

DaasYochid: I am not sure whether your comments answer any questions. I said that adding the need for more energy is done every time you open a door or open a space. In all instances, it is indirect(gromo) as stepping on an escalator does not immediately add anything and clearly nothing occurs now. As far as unintended, why would the door be different from n escalator? But anyway, as “cherrybim” mentions that Rav Neuwirth zz’k says escalators are ok.
