Depending on where we set up our first moonbases, electricity may be abundant and constant, like at the lunar poles, or we may have to ... week lunar night. A nuclear power source would also provide a compact means of providing electricity during the two-week night, and reduce the need for large amounts of solar arrays to be shipped from Earth. Everything will be electric: microwave ovens, microscopes, power tools, robots, vehicles. No combustion engines will be allowed to foul ...
