The top state "critical issues" team is focusing on bringing fuel cell development to Minnesota. Among their contacts is Ford Motor Co. Also, large R&D monies are being sought. In order to compete for these National Security developments we will need to demonstrate the necessary talent pool. A Ford fuel cell car will need a lot of computer in it, and it won't use M$Windows. Linux expertise is now a critical asset to Minnesota. These circumstances are very similar to when the internet was begun. Reagan tax policy combined with economic "stagflation" and National Security were the engine. Minnesota did not respond well then.
