Norwegian Town’s Bright Idea Is a Shining Example of Ingenuity
28th October 2013
Rjukan, home to about 3,500 residents and situated about 70 miles west of the capital, Oslo, has installed a trio of giant mountaintop mirrors to focus light into the valley town’s square during the cold (and dark) winter months.
Good to know that somewhere has enough money to spend on such a project. I am somewhat surprised that, being NPR, they didn’t root out some homeless or oppressed people and bemoan how that money could have been better used for a soup kitchen or something.
