And you need it to do nuclear fusion.
And we're getting closer to nuclear fusion, which would be unlimited energy.
And you need it to do
quantum computing, because you use it to cool down the computers.
So it matters who gets there first.
And then the second is resources, asteroid mining, which sounds far away, but it's coming.
And third is the connection and the key to the Arctic,
is the connection to the mega constellations of satellites that surround Earth.
One of the best ways to get the data to Earth and then to you and me and our cell phones is through one point in the Arctic called Svalbard.
And that is the ground station for the polar satellites and the
polar-related data that then connects to the subsea cables and ends up on your phone and lets you use Uber Eats or DoorDash or whatever it is you use to order food at your door.
Now, in 2022, somebody started cutting the internet cables that connect the space link to the subsea cables, which is the fastest internet cable in the world.
And you're like, why is that in the Arctic?
And the answer is because this is the umbilical cord connecting
for data from space to connect to everything around Earth.
So if somebody is cutting the cable, then there's suddenly a need to have a backup.
Now, where would you have a backup?
You need another Arctic site.
So where should there be other ground stations?
Greenland would be one.
