2030 92% Canada natural gas would be used for oil sands. They wanted to build a nuclear power plant to take the sludge from the ground.

The business case for the nuclear power plant may pin to how much energy has to go in to take oil.

Since I am at it: Ethanol use sugar cane bagasse as energy to produce ethanol. And the surplus energy is sent to the grid.

eplay, sorry, can't help. I don't know what energy source the refineries use.

Also I wasn't aware that Mexico oil was heavy.

When Chavez recently threatened to shut off shipments of their oil to the US, James Williams of WTRG said that the US would have no trouble getting replacement oil of the same quality as Venezuela, from the Middle East if I recall.
