I know santa fe somewhat as i stop there over night a few times a year on my way to Denver and coming back. the city is way smaller than Albequrque and is heavily dependent upon tourism. It really impresses me as being a one trick pony. I would rather own stuff in places like Denver or Phoenix, or Texas. On Thanksging day weekend, on Sunday night I stayed at hotel that judging from the parking lot was at most 15% occupied.
Having now lived in a couple cities with decent sized universities, I find that living near one really adds a lot to the community.

I imagine finding electricians and the like is a function of your local community. When I needed to replace some ouside beams a year ago and needed a contractor for one job and a good handyman for the other. It took two months for the contractor and about one month for the handyman before they could fit me into their schedule. I had to call the contractor about 10 times before he returned my calls.

KBR to Design Cutting Edge Offshore Energy Storage for CrossWind

HOUSTON, Dec. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- KBR (NYSE: KBR) announced today it has been awarded a contract to provide engineering services for an innovative offshore energy storage project for CrossWind, a joint venture (JV) between Shell and Dutch utility company, Eneco.



KBR, Inc. (PRNewsfoto/KBR, Inc.)
KBR will perform a front-end engineering design of the baseload power hub (BLPH) for the Hollandse Kust (north) wind farm located offshore Netherlands.

KBR and Shell will design and develop facilities that integrate lithium-ion battery storage and green hydrogen electrolysis production at megawatt scale. The design will enable hydrogen production and electricity storage in periods of high-power production and will convert hydrogen to electricity, via a fuel cell, during periods of lower power production.

"KBR is extremely pleased to be involved in this sustainable energy project," said Jay Ibrahim, president of KBR Sustainable Technology Solutions. "To solve the current global 'energy trilemma,' the world needs an energy mix that relies more on wind, solar and nuclear power. With our deep expertise in engineering and energy solutions, KBR is positioned to help our valued customers — partners like the CrossWind JV —drive the energy transition."

KBR is a leader in energy transition and has extensive experience supporting sustainable energy projects across the globe. Read more about KBR's approach to solving the energy trilemma on KBR.com.
