"We cannot depend on the Department of Energy alone to reduce our dependence on foreign oil," says National Algae Association Executive Director Barry Cohen.  "The DoE funding is, by Congressional mandate, required to be spent on university-based research, not commercial-scale production.   The directive is for 'research, development, demonstration and deployment'.  The universities have done a commendable job on the research over the last 50 years but they are limited to the research side.  It is now time to focus auto part on deployment  of commercial-scale algae farns in the US., which is NAA's mission.  We need to scale-up commercial production to have enough oil and biomass available to test the technologies that we have developed.  It's all about production now."
