Alaska oil was originally planned to go to Southern California refineries- but the state polution laws sort of stopped that. The large refinery complex in Los Angeles has been almost idle for past 15/20 years waiting on LA city council building permit to add the newer scrubbers to smoke stack and update burner to meet the pollution standards- city council won't let building permit be issued.

Alaska crude could go to texas after LOOONG tanker trip or go to close, profitable market (Japan, Asia)The cross Canada pipeline proposal to existing Minnesota pipeline gets tangled in legal hassles regarding contracts with union and local Canadian laws but is physically practical- pipeline from Alaska would be about 400miles to link with existing (small diameter) pipelines, they could then send oil to Minneapolis, Milwaukee and possibly to Chicago old Ashland oil refinery. Los Angeles residents shouldn't complain about fuel prices when the LA refinery could make all the gas LA needs- capacity exists, just blocked by their local politicians. RN
