What is REALLY behind the Greenland issue?

"Greenland is only part of the excitement of having Donald Trump back in the White House. With the Donald, there is never a dull moment. And with the Donald, there is always a deal to be made somewhere. MAGA!"   

This came to be like a bolt out of the blue - or should I say green. What is this sudden interest in Greenland? I know there has been interest before, but nothing like today. Is it the Artic, and keeping the baddies out of there? Is it where Greenland is positioned in the Northern Atlantic and Artic Ocean? Is it just plain expansionism? But then it came to me - it might be something completely different.

When Elon Musk was on some techie show talking about his new AI supercomputer located in Memphis, the question was raised - why did you not build it in Texas, where so much of your activity is based? His answer - "To hot. It would take too much to cool it off. In fact, maybe upstate New York would have even been better place to build it." 

More and more tech companies are going to be building bigger and bigger data centers for AI. Cooling and energy are the big issues on running them once completed. Where would be a perfect place to build them if cooling is a big issue? How about northern Canada or Greenland? 

Have some place to build data centers where the newer, smaller, more efficient and cleaner nukes could be constructed without going through a bunch of legal hoops like they would in the USA. That could be one problem fixed. But the cooling would be the other. That is, unless the outside of the data center was already cool. Then cooling the data center down to optimal temperatures might be easier and cheaper. I could see our American tech giants flocking to Greenland to build future data centers. 

I might be off on this, as the main reason for getting Greenland might only be the Artic. I get it. Or it might be the strategic location of this gargantuan island. Or it might be something altogether different that our government is keeping tight lipped about.

Here is one thing which is somewhat unique about our incoming president. When he wants something, and wants it badly, he usually finds a way to get it. Sometime, read up on how he came to get a real jewel like Mar-a-Lago. It is worth a mint and Trump basically bought it for a song. It took some finesse and patience - but he got the prize he was after.

Greenland is only part of the excitement of having Donald Trump back in the White House. With the Donald, there is never a dull moment. And with the Donald, there is always a deal to be made somewhere. MAGA!
