In case anyone was worried that more Canadian oil exports to Asia would conflict with American interests - here is the Atlantic Council advocating for it to advance East Asian energy security. "If the East Asian democracies—Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea—decide that Western Canada’s Pacific Link project is meritorious, they should consider investing in coker retrofits at existing refineries to intake Canada’s heavy oil sands crude... The US oil export complex might not be able to sustain exports at its current levels indefinitely. A growing number of analyses find that crude oil production in the Permian Basin will plateau, or even begin to decline, as prime acreage is exhausted. If the largest and most important basin in the United States faces output declines, and is not paired with concomitant decreases in demand, then US crude oil exports to Europe and East Asia will decline." atlanticcouncil.org/in-depth…
