I put this in the cross post, bit figure it belongs here, too:

While ridiculous, there's interesting context here.

Greenland has little to no economy
The ice is mined from ice that has already broken away from the glacier, thus not reducing any more than nature has already
Cargo ships bringing frozen food used to leave empty, now that same fuel is used to transport ice back instead of going to waste
The founder has always dreamed of a sustainable economy for Greenland
He is conflicted about how his work to do this in a sustainable way is being taken

Lots of gray here.

If I wanted an economy, I'd just wait for the climate to make Greenland farmable. Shouldn't be much longer.

Real Life Lore has a good video about the potential resources under Greenland. What's Hidden Under The Ice of Greenland?
