Strange that the article would say that when, in point of fact, the US is also working plans for lunar nuclear power. It’s really the only sensible way to power a moon base with current technology, so anyone who is considering one is working designs for a nuclear power plant.
The big problem with space is overheating. Space may be cold but there is no way to get rid of that heat except for radiators. Convection doesn’t exist in a vacuum.

How do you cool a nuclear reactor on the moon?
It’s already pretty cold
