We could have put a lot of heat on obama if we had revealed that we are refining Venezuelan heavy crude instead of Canadian from Keystone. Its a great story that was never told.We have Iranian missiles pointed at us in Venezuela yet we refine their oil instead of Canadian. Go figure.
Our reps dropped the ball one more time by not telling the story.
I’ve heard there are two refineries on the Gulf Coast set up to process the Venezuela heavy crude. If they switched to running the Alberta stuff it would be cheaper to import since a pipeline is less costly than a ship.
However, that would mean that the Marxists in Caracas would lose money. Hmmm, now who would Sultan Hussein favor?
