Canada is not without its refineries.
The issue is: Where are the refineries that can efficiently distribute finished product to the markets which will use them?
The answer to that question is: The Texas Gulf Coast, which has a network of finished product pipelines serving most of the USA.
Canadian refineries don't have an existing finished product pipeline network to distribute their output outside of Canada.
Hey...HEY! You guys are getting all legalistic and stuff. I was wondering why does a supposedly suffering rancher in the Sandhills have to hide behind the skirts of a Lancaster County judge. Anyone herd (heard) of the Nebraska Supreme Court?
Since when does a county appointed or even elected judge override the state legislature and the governor?
