That Antarctic Treaty is a big agreement to keep that frozen continent for peace and science, and the Madrid Protocol says no mining. India signed on as a consultative party because we have our own research stations there, like Maitri. Honestly, as a taxpayer, I see the sense in it—it’s about keeping a seat at a very important table. But some mornings, filling my diesel pump for the tractor, I do wonder if all that money for ice research couldn't first fix the road to my *kadavu*... typical farmer logic, alle?
