Here's an idea... Why not let Canada build refineries and sell oil to the northern US states at market prices or let the US build refineries in northern states and buy Canadian tar sands junk and let them refine it supply other northern states...

This entire idea of pumping sludge to Texas with the hope of refining it with no idea even what to do with the non-oil portion of the sludge is without one ounce of thought...
