The Security Council resolution drafted by Russia rivaled one backed by the U.S. and Japan that failed last month. The rival drafts focused on different types of weapons, with the U.S. and Japan specifying weapons of mass destruction. The Russian draft discussed all types of weapons.

Why is the US so keen to allow conventional weapons in space?

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).

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.
