All previous nvestigations and attempts at building of infrastructure on Greenland has given the same results: It is not feasible.
This idea of building a biodome city is like people in the 1800s dreaming of flying to the moon using steam engines and gas blimps.
There's good reason why Greenland/Denmark/China has already given up for now on building the much wanted airport hub and mineral extraction etc. There's good reasons why USA abandoned their nuclear silos there. At the moment it will cost insane amounts of money if it's even possible.
Maybe in 50-100 years when the ice has melted, then we can investigate once again to find out if it's even possible then or if the assumed bedrock under the ice is actually just a pile of mud.
The current knowledge and technology can't do this in any way that will make any economical sense in comparison to what that amount of money can actually create elsewhere right now.
If the billionaires want to throw all their money at it, sure, go ahead. It's not going to work, but at least their money will change hands in the process.
