Doesn't it make more sense to expand existing refineries that are closer to Canada instead of shipping them all the way down to the gulf coast where they are subject to closure and damage due to weather and also be shipped out to other countries?

Seems to me like Canada is looking to increase how much oil it exports to China and Romney wants to make that happen.
