    Cosmic rays do ionize things, but unless there is a conductor handy, there will be no current. Silicon exists on the lunar surface, but only in the form of compounds which are not conductive.

    Cosmic-ray energy does not arrive in a form that is convenient to gather, whether on Earth or on the Moon.
