Their motorized window shades reduce solar heat gain and energy consumption by automatically adjusting to the sun. The materials are all no-VOC (volitile organic compunds), so they don't contribute to indoor air pollution.

I'm not interesting in people spouting any sort of cliches here, liberal or conservatives. There's too much "liberals are like this, conservatives are like this" pissing going on on this site, generally unrelated to the actual conversation at hand, and certainly contributing nothing to it.
