    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.
