Well there are hot springs so Geothermal is viable provided we have someone who can do it…

Solar would be good because for half the year its day time for 22 hours a day, though it's the opposite the rest of the year.

Bio fuels are VERY inefficient, there's a reason there are only a few Hipster big guys with Bio fuel cars, though there is Oil in the Region and if we got Permits for drilling and the like that would be a great source of electricity.

Geothermal can be done anywhere, it just requires deep tunnels underground because heat rises. I was thinking biofuels like woodgas would be atleast a sustainable alternative to gas if we need to power cars for example on a small scale, even though it's inefficient, just so that we don't have to heavily rely on imports as much. I mean, we'll have tree plantations to use but maybe not access to oil. Hydro might be good because of melting ice, lots of fast flowing streams and rivers there.

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.

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.

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?
