What Oregon should be doing - as a minimum

I have been trying to get Oregon to realize that its future as a "Clean Energy State" - that can become a net-exporter of renewable energy technologies - has everything to do with it's investment (via venture-style funds) into clean-tech. We have a number of energy venture funds, incubators and accelerators that could put these funds to good use. (List, below.)

By creating a $36 million fund of funds, Florida has figured it out. Perhaps we could simply steal, er... borrow their idea?
