Just to put this to bed, and having read the wiki link (thanks) the fact that evolution probably happened first with cyano bacteria then algae then more complex plants virtually all of which contain chloroplasts, means that cyano bacteria are linked to algae, trees and all other green plants. Just as most people are linked to apes, pigs, fish etc. Bacteria are a whole different class than algae, just as we are a whole different class than fish. Terminology is very important and errors can really change how people go about changing things, hope this ends the sidebar.
We absolutely need to continue the work of growing oil producing algae and developing other oil producing plants, so keep up the good work.
