Um, Canada, the country we import the majority of our oil from? And the Soviet Union no longer exists, or has not yet reformed. And I thought that it was the other way around, that sweet light crude had the lowest sulfur content, and was therefore easiest and cheapest to refine, not that it produces the lowest percentage of sulfur.
