    Way back in the day I wrote a research paper about the true resource in Greenland: katabatic winds. Wind that never stops (well, that is until the ice shield is completely melted).

    This is the real shit. Imagine wind turbines, but the wind just literally never stops and blows always from the same direction. Remember how they dreamed up Desertec back in the day? Like, plaster the Sahara desert with solar, build three cables to Europe and have clean unlimited energy? The same shit with wind turbines in Greenland. And you can build cables to Europe and North America, it’s roughly the same distance.

    Thanks for coming to my delusional TED Talk.
