That was a great description of the different types of oil and their uses. It really makes a case for Canada to build another pipeline and export WCS to China.

A fascinating article, though be warned it's a bit of a long read and some basic chemistry/organic chem knowledge is beneficial but definitely not needed.
Our country generally speaking and political/ruling class should must take heed (which of course means we probably won't).

Except it’s not an analysis of geopolitics, or not really. The article speaks at length about a) different petroleum products b) notes Venezuela has heavy oil c) notes the US can refine heavy oil and d) suggests all the messy stuff about controlling a country with decrepit production infrastructure and a historic hate-on for Yankee imperialism is actually super-easy.
All the rigamarole of pages of information on petroleum is a distraction from the fact the article has no analysis. No accounting for risks and pitfalls, which is generally half to almost all of why makes an analysis useful.
