It is shown that (1) the new gravitational energy-momentum pseudotenso
r t(i)(k)(x) derived from the Hayashi-Shirafuji gravitational Lagrangi
an density in the extended Weitzenbock spacetime is the unique theory
which can give the gravitational energy()) within any spatial region
a definite value independent of the spatial coordinate system and sati
sfy certain other physical postulates, and (2) t(0)(0)(x) takes nonneg
ative values at any point in spacetime where g(00)>0(*)) for some wel
l-known gravitational fields.
