Mirror considered for sunless village

The anti-Mr. Burns Springfield project. Simpson's fans will know what I'm referring to. This is pretty interesting though. I can't imagine not seeing the sun for 3 months out of the year. I get depressed enough just during the long dark days of winter here in Michigan. This project would make an amazing difference I would think for these people. I don't care who you are. Not seeing the sun for a very long time is depressing.

BONDO, Switzerland - Local officials said Monday they are considering the construction of a giant mirror to light up this mountain village whose 198 residents are deprived of sunlight for three months each year.

The project would help illuminate parts of the southeastern Swiss town of Bondo that lie so deep in the Bregaglia Valley they do not receive any sunlight between December and February, said mayor Renzo Giovanoli, confirming a report in the daily Suedostschweiz.

"That would be added value for our town," Giovanoli said. "We came to a consensus at the village assembly that the study of the project should be further assessed so that we can decide on it in the summer."
