Let's be real, burning coal on the moon would actually be less harmful to the environment... as long as you ignore the carbon emissions needed to transport the coal to the moon in the first place.
And the oxygen to burn the coal, unless you’re using regolith
Sounds like a US rube goldberg machine waiting to happen. Ever increasing infrastructure on the moon to get a coal fired plant up and running, which in turn runs the infrastructure (at a loss) and nothing else.
Lol. But lunar warming!
