/greenland/ - Greenland development project

>>1459

well I doubt a crew of a couple people could have the engineering expertise to o such a dangerous thing such as digging so deep that geothermal power becomes an option, though I'm sure some of the locals could help.

Trees take a while to grow, like 20 years to become as tall as a man so that would be arduous to say the least, as for cars we could just use reindeer sleds in the winter (many of the locals do it) and if we could get our own Oil drilling then we could definitively get enough money that buying a little gas from a nearby Village wouldn't be to bad, infact if we had enough boats we could be merchants and trade luxury items and the such.

Hydro electricity in arctic waters are hard because if parts get cold and freeze up things can stop working or break to the point where repair would cost alot, though I suppose it's possible to come up with a design where this doesn't occur.

But anyways small wind turbines would be good, not the huge one but just a couple small ones on everyone house coupled with solar electricity and a generator if we need it.

>>1463

We could probably convince the greenlandic government to give us money to install larger wind turbines on the pretext that the excess electricity generated went into the grid to benefit all greenlanders in the area. However wind turbines are very aesthetically unappealling, though we could always put them out of sight.

>>1456

Biofuel requires growing crops and that takes land from food crops. You really don't need more electricity than a few solar panels for this sort of commune. Passive energy design is the key.

is geet engine for real?

Imported coal?

>>1515

Nobody can buy land, its use must be permitted by the government

>>1515

>>1518

We get a barge to have some housing on and then we can petition (?) the government to give us a little bit of land because the purpose of the board is to also help Greenlands ecosystem expand.

I propose we use land reclamation to fill in some of the Inland fjords to make fertile valleys that Reindeer and Musk Ox can graze in

>>1517

Are you trying to say blacks are not allowed?

Only Cali pussies shriek away from the cold, it would be one thing if it was life threatening but we have jackets and shit so little chance of dying from the cold.

>>1517

Unless that's a proxy it would be a laugh to see a shitposting aussie see what snow is and get frostbite

What was your old board about?

>>1534

You fucking big guy, OP. I stole your board cause there was so much shitposting and spam. If you still want to get involved we have sme Skype chats

>>1527

>>1528

Do you mind posting your name so that I can find you? If not I will get back to you with a different contact name.

>>1530

Had alot to do on wknd, I'll post my account after I've changed it. Should be done for tonight.

Schedule is tight as fuck atm.

>>1530

Youre from Iceland? If not cant find your account.

>>1532

Try greenplan50. I find that when using a mobile device I can't find some people.

Been doing construction since i was a early teen, know all about carpentry, and concrete laying. Also thinking of pursuing engineering in college. Besides from that ive had experience doing innawoods shit, hunting, fishing with just a string and a hook, building quick shelters. And i know some electrical basics but i really just know how to wire something to a fusebox.

>>1250

I'm going into computer science. I have experience in construction and understand how to create footings. I grew up in the middle of nowhere so I have good outdoors skills.

Just found out about /greenland/ on /polpol/.

If this kicks off I'm ready to study anything that is required by the community. I'm a hard worker and mainly done gardening in my career.

I know how to create efficient composts etc.

Also got a good library of ebooks from krystallnacht on sustainable gardening.

Mainly been interested in studying theology but a lifelong project like this I could commit to with my life.

>>1521

I've also done projects and documentaries on enviromental politics and also met with many high ranking officials and politicians, so I would be an active and a good addition to the community as I have some experience of the bureocratic lingo in politics.

>>1501

Oh, and to add, Iain Banks' 'The Wasp Factory' captures life in rural Scotland quite well (youths still gathering to get shit-faced, nothing much in the way of culture or events going on).

It's not a life people appreciate when they're born in to it, but certainly one that people chase given the rise of commuter villages and the rocketing of country house prices in the past couple of decades here in the UK.

>>1503

Flag is god tier. Lets just make it our movements flag

>>1461

NOT Northern Norway!

Refugees are spilling through there from Russia. You don't want to set up anything there as it will be trampled and looted once things intesify further.

We don't want to be tied up to a continent. That Estonian island sounds good. We want something like that, as logistics become more complicated for invaders.

>>1507

If there are refugees "trampling" shit, we can also not be idiots and have a parameter of security around our actually private property. Aren't guns legal In Norway?

>>1508

Oh, and pic is unrelated of course.

Dont worry this insignia was used in rome during its christian era as well.

Tbh a flag without a cross is just useless

potato expert here yukon gold is native to alaska, itll grow anywhere

I'm not sure if this is on topic but tree plantations for the necessary wood would be good. Trees from siberia grow well in Greenland.

Is aquaponics viable for this? Also there is higher demand for some foods like cabbage I believe but they're expensive asf, we could have a monopoly over the market for some foods like this.

So guys lets try and find on Wikipedia some plants that are edible that can grow well in Arctic/Antarctic conditions

>>1450

Details?

>>1455

Well we could grow trees but too many would hurt the ecosystem because most of the large animals there eat grass and can't survive in forests and then the wolfs that prey on them would die then other things would breed to much and yadda yadda yadda shit gets fucked, though Some would be good, just not too many trees.

Aquaponics /may/ be a little viable, in a Greenhouse but probably wouldn't work out to well in the winter.

True those foods are more expensive but I doubt people are going to pay half their Money for things like Cabbage and fucking vegetables. I suggest we grow potatoes/Luxury foods and make profit out of those.

>>1464

I mispoke on the yukon golds, but most potatoes only need a temp of 40 to germinate and after that you can grow them in plant them in spring or fall, for a double harvest. The spring harvest would come soon due to the longer daylight hours and im not surr about the fall harvest since the daylight hours could drag us deep into winter and kill the crops. That said potatos can grow to some extent in the teens, but grow best in 50-70°F which is basically a greenland summer. So we probably wouldnt be able to plant in the fall but due to the long days we might be able to do two grow cycles in the spring and summer seasons.

>>1470

Heres a quick read on growing potatos in cold climates.
