Utopia Talk / Politics / Drilling oil in greenland without permis

As the US president renews his threats to claim the vast Arctic territory, materials to prepare for drilling were brought ashore in recent days on Greenland’s eastern coast. That has prompted Greenland’s government to issue a “strong warning” that no approval had been granted to land the kit. “All future logistical matters must be advised and approved by the mineral resources authority – before they are carried out,” the government said in a statement. Two days later, Trump made his latest menacing post on Truth Social, showing himself looming over a Greenlandic village. Executives of Greenland Energy, a Texas company set up last year, have claimed that $1tn of crude may lie beneath the Jameson Land region. They announced plans to spend $60m drilling two wells to find out. Although Greenland stopped issuing new oil licences in 2021 on environmental grounds, a UK company called 80 Mile had secured exploration rights in Jameson Land. Greenland Energy’s corporate filings say it will take a majority stake in the project in exchange for funding the exploration, though it still needs government permission to proceed. Colorful houses in Ittoqqortoormiit, Greenland, clustered on rocky, snow-patched hillside above blue water Licensed to drill? How a Trump-linked Texas oil company is elbowing its way into Greenland Read more Greenland Energy has retained Phil McGraw, better known as Dr Phil, a prominent rightwing former chatshow host who served on Trump’s religious freedom commission, to make a documentary series that will “capture the mission of these modern-day wildcatters”. It has also appointed as a director a US navy veteran who is working on Golden Dome, the missile defence plan for which Trump says controlling Greenland is “vital”. Larry Swets, Greenland Energy’s chair and a big shareholder, appears to enjoy access to Trump’s circle. He has said the oil project is “not related to American annexation”. After a company representative falsely claimed at a Jameson Land community meeting in June that it had permission to land drilling equipment, Swets said: “Our enthusiasm for the project led us to communicate in a way that created confusion.” But the next month, local people in the sparsely populated region noticed a tug pulling a barge shorewards and unloading a dozen containers. “The goal was to get the equipment onshore at Nunap Qeqqa [Jameson Land] in connection with planned oil exploration drilling,” the Greenland government’s statement said. The Danish investigative outlet Danwatch quoted the head of the shipping company as confirming the delivery was for Greenland Energy. Greenland Energy has declined to respond to questions from the Guardian. A letter it sent to shareholders on Thursday said: “Recent high-level meetings between project leadership and Greenlandic regulatory and oversight authorities have been constructive, and we continue to be encouraged by the progress being made toward the remaining approvals required for drilling.” It said that after those discussions, just one well would be drilled to begin with. As a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark, decisions about Greenland’s natural resources rest with its local elected leaders, who now face a delicate decision. They could grant permission for oil drilling, even though the planned wells appear to fall within a conservation area protected by the Ramsar convention on wetlands. Or they could refuse and, some worry, give Trump a pretext to advance his imperialist agenda. The Greenland government’s statement said it “would not be proportionate” to demand the equipment be removed. An application for permission remained under processing, it added. A Greenland Energy representative has said a vessel carrying its 300 shipping containers of drilling equipment is to set sail from Canada on 12 September. Sinking the wells would begin in October. Jeff Landry, the hard-right Louisiana governor serving as Trump’s Greenland envoy, has said Greenland could be pumping oil next year.

tumbleweed rank	Sat Aug 08 18:08:41 stealing their oil is vital to our national security! ...Iran can't have a nuclear weapon! thank you for your attention to this matter! brought to you by Carl's Jr
jergul rank	Sat Aug 08 18:13:24 Fine the company, then sieze its assets when Trump leaves office. It is a pretty obvious provocation.
williamthebastard rank	Sat Aug 08 19:01:20 Seize its assets now. Let Trump start a war in Greenland, where every millimeter has been booby-trapped by Europe’s leading powers since January. Send hundreds or thousands of marines home in body bags, bill the US for the ammunition used to kill them, and laugh as murcans realize that Iran didn’t just bleed them of their ATACMs - but their marines reputation is about as inflated as the Russian military. Piss all over magas arrogant, overcompensating machismo as reality finally smacks it in the face and the entire world cuts them off.
Paramount rank	Sat Aug 08 21:17:52 Fine the company, seize the assets, AND kill them all.
Pillz rank	Sat Aug 08 21:18:14 Soon, Trump will reveal the truth to the American people, that Europe, not Iran, are the true enemy.
Sam Adams rank	Sat Aug 08 21:23:46 Lol it's our oil now
williamthebastard rank	Sat Aug 08 21:39:06 I actually know a danish soldier. Im going to mess him now and ask how much they'd charge for dead murcan skulls to use to shit in. Also, the prics of dead murcans tags so that their families never find out how what happened to them lol
Average Ameriacn rank	Sat Aug 08 21:42:40 To the victor go the spoils
williamthebastard rank	Sat Aug 08 21:44:40 Indeed. To us go the murcan skulls to shit in and throw away.
Sam Adams rank	Sat Aug 08 22:09:16 Given the latest migrant/invasion trends, we are basically stealing oil from another arab state again. Lol.
williamthebastard rank	Sat Aug 08 22:10:01 It would be really enjoyable to find their families on the internet, sell their childrens skulls to them in exchange for their documented bankruptcy and homelessness, and then send over an unknown murcan's skull packed with my fesces via Ebay lol
williamthebastard rank	Sat Aug 08 22:23:52 He replied that the price is a cup of coffee. Im going to tell him thats rather expensive for a murcan skull to shit in, but ok.
Seb rank	Sat Aug 08 23:07:26 Just go and arrest the workers, and deport them to the edge of Greenland territorial waters by helicopter to make their own way home.
jergul rank	Sun Aug 09 01:06:50 Incredibly problematic with a president that has no need for the EU to contain Russia because he does not want Russia contained.
Pillz rank	Sun Aug 09 02:06:09 Need Greenland oil to flow to offset debacle that is the Iranian war, Sam?
Sam Adams rank	Sun Aug 09 02:45:11 Lol no. US doesn't need gulf oil. The EU and China need gulf oil. I just think it's funny to take Greenland's oil and turn it into cwimate cwisis.
jergul rank	Sun Aug 09 09:15:29 Sociopath much?
jergul rank	Sun Aug 09 09:32:29 Oil is a global commodity dummy. You are running out as fast as or faster than everyone else. http://www...dler.ashx?n=PET&s=WCSSTUS1&f=W
Sam Adams rank	Sun Aug 09 11:43:02 Not entirely correct. If shit hits the fan for real we will simply stop exporting to you. Our oil companies will bitch about the extra profit loss, selling here for 8 dollars a gallon rather than you for 15, but they'll still be making a killing so fuck them. At that point you'll almost certainly sell out Ukraine, give them up and run back to Russia. But Russia doesn't produce enough to cover both you and China. Why do you think the Chinese are so gung ho on EVs? Because they know oil is both of your achilles heels, and they are more intelligent than you.
jergul rank	Sun Aug 09 11:54:08 You import 6 million barrels a day dummy. Complicated, but different oil types give different destillate mixes. You need heavier crude to optimize refining and you need a lot of it.
jergul rank	Sun Aug 09 11:55:55 China is gungho on EVs and green fuel because it plans deeper than in 2 year cycles in the US and 4 generally in Europe. It knows climate change if unchecked will lead to severe social disruptions.
Sam Adams rank	Sun Aug 09 12:07:17 China doesn't care about global warming. China wants to start a war with Taiwan without the US navy instantly choking their economy to death. "You import 6 million barrels a day dummy.” Ya from Canada. And then we export even more. Lol dunce.
jergul rank	Sun Aug 09 12:21:20 Dummy, are you a toddler? I was dismissing your "lol, we can just disconnect from the global oil market because we have our own" argument by pointing out you rely heavily on the global oil market. Do try to keep up.
jergul rank	Sun Aug 09 12:24:01 China cares about global warming dummy. It is in this for the long haul and does not want destabilizing disasters. And rofl@US navy. It cant even deal with Iran.
williamthebastard rank	Sun Aug 09 12:25:10 One of the main reasons China is a much better future partner than murca is because they dont live in a globally lethal fantasy world pretending GW doesnt exist, Lying Shemale lol.
Sam Adams rank	Sun Aug 09 12:32:50 "you rely heavily on the global oil market." But not the straits, and not nearly as reliant as you. Lol enjoy.
williamthebastard rank	Sun Aug 09 12:35:19 See, when marketing execs were thinkIng of new ways to sell cars to murcan morons - apart from influencing the construction of that shithole to make it impossible to not have a car - identifying and exploiting murcans greatest identitarian fears was a key move: “Hey, lets tie car ownership to their gender complexes! If you dont buy our products, youre a homisexy!” This worked so well it become a lifestyle for murcans that are so embarrassingly insecure about their gender that they take testosterone to try to artificially become more masculine and sit in cubicles 70 hours a week to pay off their car
williamthebastard rank	Sun Aug 09 12:36:56 There is no easier mark than a gender-insecure murcan who wants to try to look macho. If you ever want to con someone out of everything they earn, find a Lying Shemale murcan
Sam Adams rank	Sun Aug 09 12:39:13 You'd think, needing to ship in oil from afar, that Europe would have done at least 1 of 3 obvious things. 1) have a navy 2) jump on EVs the moment the tech became good 3) build up nuclear power How have you not done a single one? How are you guys this dumb?
williamthebastard rank	Sun Aug 09 12:49:48 Weapons manufacturers in murca exploited the same murcan fear of not looking manly enough, of course. Murcas gender insecurity has been a huge target for commercial interests for many decades. Their fear of not looking manly has been a very important factor in shaping murcan "culture".
jergul rank	Sun Aug 09 13:09:43 Dummy, how has that navy worked out for you for opening up the straight for your allies in ME and Asia? Come to think, had not the straight been open for many decades until you decided to do something really stupid? The problem the EU has with energy is the competative advantage cheap Russian ng and oil gave it for many years. Structurally, things are looking fine for once the Ukrainian issue is settled. Expensive nuclear power is not part of the solution, nor are EVs the end all for people that dont have to keep cars as reserve homes in case they lose a job. What we really need to do is decouple from the US economy. Your delusions of grandeur are dangerous.
murder rank	Sun Aug 09 13:42:26 "And rofl@US navy. It cant even deal with Iran." Not with a moron in charge. -
jergul rank	Sun Aug 09 13:55:29 It would not be trying to deal with Iran without a moron in charge in any event.
Rugian rank	Sun Aug 09 15:01:40 Political subjugation is often preceded by economic subservience. It will be difficult for Greenland to argue that it's not a US territory if they can't even stop us from extracting their national resources on their own land. We'll have little green men in Greenland in 18 months' time. It'll be fun to compare jergul's reaction to his deflections back in 2014.
Rugian rank	Sun Aug 09 15:06:49 "Those masked soldiers in Greenland aren't American troops, that's obvious European propaganda. Seems like they're Greenlanders who are simply spontaneously rising up against their oppressive government." Oooh this is going to be so much fun lol.
williamthebastard rank	Sun Aug 09 15:58:28 Oh boy, burning gender-confused murcans alive is going to be so much fun rofl
jergul rank	Sun Aug 09 16:16:27 Ruggy Why would you need to wait? You have invaded numerous places since 2014. The analogy you are trying to create is a massive fail. Russia meddled in a civil war and annexed Crimea outright while merely freezing the civil war in Donbas. The big problem you will run into with the 2014 version is by how much local support Russia had in Crimea. Why not compare it to my reaction to the 2022 invasion?
jergul rank	Sun Aug 09 16:17:49 The little greenman thing you have been doing for years on your own streets. Try asking ICE to lower their facemasks and provided their names.
