Talk to gates. Heard he’s kicking in halfsies to build a new nuke in Kemmemer Wyoming.

Why not solar? Would that not work, or somehow be inefficient?

Sarcasm aside though, wouldn’t a reactor in such a location be a massive and endeavor in terms of building, running, and maintaining it though?

The greenies will be up there protesting in space suits - they’ll call it a “fragile lunar environment.”

What could possibly go wrong?

Not one taxpayer dollar needs to be spent on dumb ass ideas like this.

China will be first.

U.S. has too many regulations, which make it cost prohibitive.

Various space craft use a form of nuclear fission to generate energy. I don’t know if they can scale that for use on the moon, but I think it wouldn’t be hard to design something that didn’t require human monitoring or intervention to function.

The 14 days long lunar nights is a problem for solar power.
Environment and radiation is less of a problem on the moon.
No tsunamis but there could be meteorite strikes so maybe they should bury it or put it in a cave.

You’ll kill all the plants there. Why not build a pipeline instead, so that the caribou can stay warm on the dark side of the moon?
