“Keystone oil is heavy crude.”
The Gulf Coast, Texas and Louisiana have namy DCU - Coke units. These refine the Heavy, high sulfur crudes. There were many Delayed Coke Units build on the Gulf coast in the 70’s and many more since then. The Canadian tar sands crude is something these units can refine and make lots of money doing so
Wouldn’t everyone be better off if Gulf Coast refineries were refining only American crude especially as Baaken production increases and especially if we get keystone and not the crude oil of our worst enemies?
I’m not talking about where the oil goes. I know that’s a whole different ball game. But why refine crude of countries that have weapons pointed at you.?
