Gas from Algae?

I'm confused, Gentle Readers. I love the idea of making gas from algae. Check out the sidebar to this Washington Times editorial, which illustrates exactly how much gas is in pond scum...

What I want to know is, why are experiments in using algae and the Keystone Pipeline being presented as either-or alternatives? Given that commercial interests would gladly fund both, why must we choose only one?

Canada hasn't promised to save the "black gold" for us, and it's much Greener to use it closer to its origin rather than let it be exported to China.
