  • They’re not even profitable currently, given the arctic conditions. Greenland has been begging for outside investment for a decade, but it’s just not viable.

    Ironically, the Danish state might have wanted to invest, but are bound by a clause in out cooperation agreement (Selvstyreloven) which forbids Denmark from investing more in Greenland than they did when the agreement was signed in 2009. This clause was insisted on by the Greenlandic parliament, as they wanted to bind themselves to move more towards independence than cooperation with Denmark, but it’s been a real problem when it comes to developing Greenland.

    Like, the trouble Denmark had to go to in order to build an more modern airport on Greenland…

    If we come away from this with our relationship intact (Greenland & Denmark), the Selvstyrelov needs to be renegotiated to allow more Danish investment into Greenlandic infrastructure and business.
