That refinery has been there for a long time. I recall when it was the Standard Oil refinery. I have lots of friends in The Region, most of them were kids of mill rats, but the refinery has been a big part of industry up there, too.

Given that it is such a large refinery with no real source of local crude to process, I was wondering earlier today if it would not be an ideal place to refine Canadian tar sands oil since Keystone XL is still not built. This answers that question.

This refinery is already fed by the Enbridge Canadian Pipeline Systems.

This should not be considered a replacement for Keystone XL. They are separate projects and the need is for both and more.
