The plan is already to decimate moon settlers with nuclear meltdowns.

Really highlights how fucking dumb the elite are.

It's not like one side of the moon is always facing the sun, which has been the chief argument against solar panels for decades and decades (that being: the sun goes down and then solar panels dont generate, so an electric grid that is mostly used at night isnt feasable).

One side of the moon is NOT always facing the sun. One side of the moon is always facing the EARTH. The moon rotates on its axis at a rate of one rotation per orbit around the Earth.

The moon is not tidally locked with the sun. Also the viable landing sites on the moon are tiny. There's so much that's difficult about the moon for settlement and solar power viability is actually one of them.

I would think the difference in air conditioning, especially big commercial buildings, would more than make up the balance.

Overall... I agree with your take.

I counter with electricity costs of keeping them AC units at the clean room mouth running 24/7 vs in presence of new contaminant and how dust blows both ways and mold tends to blow one way.
