It’s a convoluted story, of which we don’t have the entire picture, but it involves a Texas oil company with close ties to Trump’s imperialist visions in Greenland and, somehow, Dr. Phil. The company has been posting regular announcements about its Jameson Land drilling campaign since April of this year. The issue is that Greenland has not issued new licenses for oil drilling since 2021. It appears as though the Texas-based group is working with 80 Mile, a UK company that has rights to drill in Jameson Land. Greenland Energy announced in June that it had added Carol Craig to the company’s board of directors.
