Why don't these people just move ?
In the midst of five months of darkness this coming winter, the Norwegian town of Rjukan will have one bright spot: a town square illuminated by sunlight bounced off giant mirrors placed atop the town's neighboring mountains.
It seems a lot of effort for slight improvement, got to hand it to them for ingenuity though.

I'll bet it is great for the businesses in the town square that is illuminated.

I saw that on the news. The towns' folk were very excited about it. And good on them too. All around the world people expect to have shade in sunny places .........well why not sun in shadey places . I like the idea.

I was thinking along similar lines.
When I first heard of it I had the impression it was to give shine over the whole town.
Bless them in their project.

The Russians had a project going at one time to use satellites to do something like that.
Znayma, I think was the name.
