half-time power from the moon
Not if they are at the poles they don't.
(that's the answer; the question was, don't lunar power
stations cease to function two weeks of the month?)
Of course a non-polar lunar colony would indeed need
either a good energy storage system, or a good generation
system; if you put it up in a large whack, say by ORION, then a
small nuclear power plant would probably be the right thing to
have for a colony.
