“Tourist infrastructure and mining can help bring Greenlanders closer to their goal of becoming a self-sufficient country. Rare-earth elements could turn it into a diplomatic flash point. China’s influence is strong and will probably grow, as Greenland badly needs foreign investment.”

Fascinating stuff in this story.  Will Greenland become green again?   Will Greenland become independent?   Did anyone know or care until “rare earths” were mentioned?
