Oil rigs do survive storms, but aren't meant to support large numbers of people. And the idea of living on essentially a cruise ship is not the same as establishing "new geographic zones." In any case it's completely nuts. Maybe it's one of the attractions of Greenland for these pseudo geniuses.

I did a quick check of the theoretical price of a human kidney, and it's less than a new car. They're tagging it at $45k compensation. To remove a working organ. You can JUST BARELY afford a fancy KIA with that. Or a year or two of rent. Not both tho.

Oh, and the cost of MOVING the kidney from one person to another is $450,000 The actual organ would cost far less than handing it across the room. The hospital would get 10 times as much for cutting it out of you than you'd get for losing it.
