Make a drain hole at the bottom of a lake, that comes out above it. Put in a water wheel, free energy.

Never thought about it before, but I guess this makes portal guns impossible, since scenarios like this break conservation of energy.

Maybe entering the portal takes as much energy as it would take to climb the long way? If the other end is on the moon you have to enter at 10km/s or something else you fall right back out. Warning: I am not responsible for damage caused by extreme tidal forces.
