Today: "Designer Babies": These startups promise optimized children

Greenland Energy, a US company, plans to extract oil from the Jameson-Land-Becken in Greenland, but has not yet obtained the necessary permit from the Greenlandic government. Despite this, the company shipped camp equipment to the Nerlerit Inaat port in late July. The Greenlandic government publicly reprimanded the company and stated that drilling would not begin until winter 2027 at the earliest.

A Handelsblatt expert believes even this date is unlikely, citing concerns that Greenland Energy may not respect the rules and regulations of Greenland.
