Also interesting to note that one of the strongest opponents of the Keystone project was the State of California 
-
- The California refineries of the Bay area and the central valley process some 2 million barrels of oil daily into gasoline. The refinery oil typically comes from the California heavy oil projects of Oxnard and the San Joaquin Valley- some of the dirtiest energy harvested world wide - 
-
as the California heavy oil fields pass maturity and as their production declines - California needs new heavy oil sources - Enter the Alberta oil sands ..........
-
- as California blocked the Keystone project helping to depress the price of Alberta bitumen , California increased their importation of Canadian oil sand products by  1000% in 2014 - and that energy was delivered by rail , one of the least eco friendly means of transporting energy products- -
