This picture shows them standing in front of one of four new energy efficient homes in the Argentine area of Kansas City, Kansas.  Solger’s Lenexa, KS,  based wind energy and solar power company installed solar hot water units, Solatubes for natural light, SolarSheats for space heating, and solar attic fans on each home. Other energy saving features include improved insulation, vapor barriers,  and spray foam around the homes’ rims.
