Why does Greenland’s election have global implications?
Mar 31st 2013, 23:48 by T.W.
ONLY 57,000 people live in Greenland, and little more than 30,000 of them turned out to vote in the country’s general election on March 12th. But the outcome of the ballot in the sparsely populated country may be felt by millions of people around the world. Greenland is sitting on an untapped export industry that, if exploited, could have an impact on the wallet of anyone buying a computer, television or refrigerator.
