I also think that the algae process deserves some research funding. I realize that not every project funded will pan out, but right now, it's impossible to get loans and private-start up equity funding isn't always the right fit.

As we are seeing, the problem are cronyism, insufficient numbers of qualified scientific people to review grant applications and far too much creative writing in grant applications.

I'm hoping that the economy will turn around and a variety of private funding for small projects will be available.
