Roswell, NM | 1 Review(s)

I've lived at least three lifetimes in this One. Work&School, School&Work, and in between -I've experimented, created, explored, and traveled. I've been a photojournalist, videographer, documentry/filmmaker, writer, artist, animator -besides working as a Respiratory Therapist in Indiana and California (North & South.) AND, of course... the ever perpetual student.
Surprised myself by my curiosity into the why and how, which has gained me a diverse knowledge base... not surprisingly, I like Trivia!

Roswell, NM


Benevolent Climate - 9/30/2008
With all the concerns over Climate Change and Gas/Energy prices, Roswell, NM is relatively moderate. Worst time of the year ofcourse is the summer because without air-conditioning its pretty HOT! Think Phoenix, AZ. But Spring and Fall requires next to no heating or cooling at all!
At about 3500 feet, it does get cold and there is the occasional snow, but most homes can get by with a lot less heating than elsewhere in the country because its almost always sunny and dry.
There is the rare but occasional wind or dust storm but usually keeping the batteries up and running in the mothership seems to keep Roswell's resident aliens safe and sound.

This place would be ideal for Solar and Wind energy development.

The only gripe is the tap water. Pretty undrinkable due to the high salt concentrations coming from the immense underground natural reservoir replenished from run-off from surrounding mountain ranges. I use a reverse osmosis system for drinking water and simply add acidic tea & coffee grounds to my outdoor plants.
