6. Exactly.

The Koch brothers refinery (Flint Hills Resources) at Pine Bend Minnesota was converted for tar sands oil back in the 1990"s. It has been much more profitable than other refineries because the lack of other customers for tar sands dilbit let them get it cheap. There may be some others in the upper mid west that use tar sands oil now, but the proposed keystone Keystone pipeline was for exporting from the Gulf coast.
Oil is like power; It corrupts. The Koch brothers grew their empire the old fashioned way: Theft. Nobody knows how much they stole, but just the settlement to my grandmothers tribe was 34 million dollars. They were never indicted for their crimes and the American press kissed their ass. So much for American justice. Here in west Texas we are looking at huge damage from fracking, but of course the taxpayers will eat the cost, not the ones who caused it.
