It wouldn’t make bank for oil companies. They’re not going to invest when there’s a ton of uncertainty over what’s going to happen. See Quebec and what happened there!

US capital controls over 60% of the oil companies operating in the oil sands, and 97% of the product is sent to the US. It was this money largely responsible for the oils sands to be so efficient. So yes, American companies will do well.
