3. Best thing about having a black hole moon?

Black hole garbage chute! I lived for a time in an apartment that had a communal garbage chute, and I can vouch for the convenience. With all that black hole energy available, it would be possible to rid the planet of waste products that can’t be eliminated through burial or incineration. Like nuclear waste. Oh, BTW, who needs nuclear power plants now anyway? Or power plants of any kind, for that matter? I figure that using small conventional rockets to launch payloads of the worst nuclear waste into a trajectory to the black hole moon would have this place spiffy in no time. Seems a fair trade off to me. Eventually the need would end along with the resources used to send that nuclear waste packing.
