Camp Century could spill millions of gallons of sewage, diesel fuel, and nuclear waste as climate warms

Camp Century, constructed in 1959 by the US Army Corps of Engineers, was built directly into the ice sheet of Greenland, giving it an interior reminiscent of Echo Base on the frozen world of Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back. At the heart of the facility was the PM-2A portable nuclear reactor, which provided power for the sprawling "city under the ice" that included housing for 200 soldiers, a theater, gym, post exchange, library, and even a chapel.

Immediately got me thinking about the last season of True Detective.

they were going to build thousands of miles of tunnels, in the ice sheet of Greenland, to house hundreds of missiles, and only didn't because "greenland's ice sheet is too unstable for long term housing"

but they can't solve homelessness or etc
