Well they should be encouraged to stop relying on the USA for their well being.

That is not really an option.

If I was advising someone building a new plant today, I'd tell them to go European.

Probably Siemens for the most part, Schneider is also an option, but their engineering environment sucks more than Siemens.

Unfortunately Rockwell has the best software, from a software engineering point of view. No serious open source options in the industrial space yet.

If people are willing to become dependent on a particular vendor for their survival they get no sympathy from me.

I'm not sure you understand industrial automation.

Maybe not but my point stands. If the future of your company is dependent on one vendor you fucked up.
