I guess some people would just rather breath the fumes from the local coal plant. UGH......

How was that thing with the simpletons carrying sunlight away in sacks? (Too bad, in English it seems there is no corresponding term to "Schildbürger", the deed is attributed to them.)

I'm not sure I know that story.
But I think Simpletons is the perfect word for this article. :o

I'm not sure how much the term is known internationally, but "simpleton" is a term that the online dictionary gives out in that context and that half-way suits in the meaning of what the Schildbürger usually do and what the sayings about them are about.

No idea. Maybe because they are morons.

But it is true! My company just made its two millionth solar panel, and now our proVince only has sunshine for barely 80 hours a week!

Does your province use that much solar energy or do all those panels get shipped out to other places?

All used locally. We went 100% coal-free last year.
