Mirrors Would Bring Winter Sun to Dark Town

by Eko Prasetyo @ 8:13 PM

In Here, It is said that a set of hundreds of mirrors will be used to bring sunlight to a city only 10 minutes separated from it.

A city that has fallen into a very long night. A city on the Arctic.

The town 25 miles east of Innsbruck is Austria's smallest-- and getting smaller. Its population has dropped by about 20 percent to 440 in the last two decades, and both Peskoller and Mayor Franz Wurzenrainer attribute that at least in part to lack of sunshine.

A lack of sunshine. That's not healthy for people's soul, is it?
