Does Mercury not have any useful radioactive material to provide more power?
I guess it might. I wouldn't plan on it without a very detailed survey though, to say the least. Whereas solar is definitely right there. (And you still have to worry about cooling either way.)
Are there reactor designs that could work up there? There's not much water for coolant.
