<span style="font-size:12px">California refineries' capacity to "crack" heavy oil prompted the Society of Petroleum Engineers in 2009 to remark that the Canadian tar sands are "the most promising source for California refineries" to replace dwindling current
crude supplies over the long term. Oil refiners themselves have acknowledged as much. In 2013, Valero reported to investors on its "strategy" to refine "cost-advantaged crude oil" and its plan to bring that oil to its Benicia refinery by train, featuring a
chart showing tar sands as the most cost-effective oil. The same year, a report by Phillips 66, which has a refinery in Rodeo, stated plans for "moving Canadian crudes down into California." Tesoro, which operates a refinery in Martinez, made a similar statement
in a 2014 investors report. In 2015, the Canadian Association of Oil Producers published plans to send tar sands crude to California via pipeline, boat, and train.</span></p>

<span style="font-size:12px">So far, opposition by community groups has fended off most of the Bay Area refining industry's tar sands-oriented proposals even without the emissions caps. But it's uncertain how much longer these efforts can hold...

<span style="font-size:12px">California is one of the world's most important political arenas for climate change policy. In contrast to the Trump administration, which has begun to dismantle the federal government's existing climate change regulations, California
officials are plotting out how to achieve a 40 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions relative to 1990 levels by 2030 and have established cooperative programs with countries and states throughout the world to reduce atmospheric pollution.</span></p>
