North America need another Houston somewhere on the Pacific coast, to ship petroleum products to newer potential markets in Asia?

What are the monetary cost and environmental risks of building a pipeline to Texas compared to the costs and risks of building a new refining and shipping hub in, say, Washington State, Oregon, or California?

If nobody has answers to these questions, much more study definitely is needed before okaying a risky pipeline.
