An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress

Stop Unauthorized U.S. Oil Drilling in Greenland

109 so far! Help us get to 250 signers!

Greenland Energy Company, chaired by Trump-linked Larry Swets Jr., is moving drilling equipment in Greenland without authorization from Greenlandic authorities. That's not a regulatory technicality — it's a company with political connections acting like the rules don't apply to them. You should be demanding accountability, not looking the other way. Greenland banned new oil exploration in 2021 because environmental risks outweighed the benefits. Analysts at Wood Mackenzie are blunt: Greenland has just 100 miles of paved roads across a territory the size of a quarter of the continental U.S., and 50 years of drilling produced zero major discoveries. This project isn't a strategic win — it's a politically connected company gambling with Arctic ecosystems on a venture that major oil firms already walked away from. Greenland's sovereignty and its regulatory process deserve respect. Push back on any effort by the administration to pressure or fast-track approvals for this project, and make clear that U.S. companies operating abroad must follow the laws of the countries where they work — regardless of who they know in Washington.
