Wyoming prepared for supercomputer
The University of Wyoming in Laramie has a new School of Energy and increased focus on geo and computational sciences, which contributed to its selection as a partner in the supercomputer project.
Not so fast.
I am writing in response to Business Editor Rob Reuteman’s column that appeared in the July 21 Rocky Mountain News titled "Colorado is losing labs, jobs to states with deep pockets."
It is understandable to use the success of other states to focus attention on deficiencies, or perceived deficiencies, of one’s own state. I will confess to having done that myself a time or two. But to so bluntly attribute the reason that Colorado "lost" the National Center for Atmospheric Research supercomputer facility to "Wyoming wrote a bigger check" is a little arrogant, may be disingenuous and, frankly, misses the point.
