This is because of the Ukraine war. We as a country are exposed to being attacked by Russia. Be that cyber attacks or destruction of assets by sleeper agents.

So instead of decentalizing the electrical grid and making sure it's secure someone at Dansk Supermarked thinks it will earn them money to be prepared for some future crisis.
I find the article native.. it says they trust Nets (payment company) to work offline ..
- dmix 1y agoI have a feeling tens of thousands of drones would be a better investment if your concern is Russia vs NATO. But if it’s just a business reacting to popular sentiment then it’s a fine business strategy I guess. Or just useful spin / wealthy owners paranoia.
- brendoelfrendo 1y agoThe people in a position to buy thousands of drones and the people in a position to build emergency supermarkets aren't the same people. And regardless, if you do find yourself in a war--especially if it's a defensive one--you need both.
- scrollaway 1y agoDon’t worry, most countries are buying tens of thousands of drones. That investment is happening. (Source: I work in this sector) (Worth noting: Your comment sounds like “I have a feeling fixing (critical bug 1) would be a better investment than (fixing critical bug 2)”. You fix both.)
- wojciii 1y agoI don't want to fix any legacy code. I want a design that doesn't contain the bugs. Attacking a distributed grid would probably not be cost effective.
- scrollaway 1y agoA distributed grid is not a one-and-done solution to everything. Supply chain can stop for a number of reasons, not just electricity.
- Eupolemos 1y agoThe important thing is stocks. My guess is that more and more people has some cash lying around, esp. with NETS' last failure
- ReptileMan 1y ago>We as a country are exposed to being attacked by Russia. No you are not. First - no one can find you on a map. You are so tiny. Second for a conventional warfare Russia will have to go trough many many countries to get to you, no matter which road they take (also anyone that thinks Russia is a credible threat is smoking something strong - they don't have the capacity to subdue backwater as eastern Ukraine, let alone more developed and prepared countries as Poland, Germany or Finland, Sweden). And preparedness won't help you for nuclear.
- mordae 1y agoSorry, but Russia is a credible threat that keeps killing people in Ukraine and threatens going nuclear. China is betting on us rather pivoting than engaging with Russian army. If we seem tough enough, we call it. We can then also negotiate better rate for the US protection racket, becauss the US fuckers decided to more than double the rate recently and we are unhappy about that. Long term we will rearm ourselves on our own terms.
- guappa 1y agoOf course they threaten going nuclear. Every country that has nuclear weapons has them because of the threat of using them. If a state would say "we will never, in no circumstance, ever use these weapons" then why spend the money to have them in the first place? USA, pakistan, russia, france, india and so on… they all have these weapons to threaten using them.

- wojciii 1y agoBingo.
- vintermann 1y agoWell, it's not Russia Greenland is worrying about currently.
