This. In all the political back and forth and media coverage it's appalling - and deeply colonizing - how little concern or voice has been given to Greenland's actual inhabitants, who are overwhelmingly Indigenous.
From my column of nearly a year ago, a reminder that Trump’s Greenland gambit is an attempt to steal an indigenous nation that is working toward its own independence: www.bostonglobe.com/2025/01/08/o...

TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?
MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO
T: So force is on the table?
M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

In short, you're not creating a "level playing field" if Trump & Burgum are, through other means, effectively imposing a ban on solar power. Unless they stop doing that, any permitting reform is simply a blank check to fossil fuels.

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"
