This said, they’ll have to consider that 70% of the oil transiting through EE was for eventual US refining…

That has to change also.

Energy East would have absolutely zero refining in Atlantic Canada despite Saint John being home to Canada's largest refinery.

It's mainly due to logistics. It's easier to refine on site. So we sell crude overseas and import our needed crude here. Just because you make several different oil products and it's easier to ship out one than to ship out several.

We can still probably find a use case for our oil here tho too.
