Wonderful news this morning .... this is a stellar example of corporate responsibility. The government should never allow simple abandonment of property that compromises environmental integrity. We have spent more than $2 billion of taxpayer money under the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative to restore ecological functions damaged by various industries. Consumers Energy should be applauded for this community service. Enbridge needs to shut down Line 5 now to eliminate the risk to our communities AND remove their damned oil pipeline from our waters!!!!

These permit requests are incomplete or poorly planned. Meanwhile, the State of Michigan is being pressured to approve these permits by big oil political contributions and their paid for Michigan legislators. The best legislators that money can buy!

STRAITS OF MACKINAC, Mich. , (WPBN/WGTU) -- Enbridge has released an animated video breaking down how the company plans to construct the tunnel meant to house the Straits of Mackinac crossing of the L...Enbridge is masterful at misinformation. They haven’t even met industry standards for pre-tunnel studies of the geographic formations thru which they would be tunneling. They merely want to continue operating the current aged out, damaged twin pipelines. 23 million gallons a day of product for the years when construction theoretically occurs. In the meantime underwater currents are endangering the integrity of the line. Countless freighters and vessels are overhead. It is unpredictable when another anchor strike will occur or a screw anchor saddle will fail. Violation after violation by Enbridge. Withdraw the easement Gov Whitmer. Time’s up. Shut down line 5.
IMO Enbridge has no intention of building the tunnel. They will run product through the antiquated, damaged and vulnerable pipeline until stopped. Enbridge will string this out as long as possible. An oil spill in the Straits of Mackinac would kill the economy in the UP and Northern Lower Michigan. Shut it Down.

Enbridge’s plans for a pipeline tunnel do not meet industry standards and pose significant hazards to workers and the environment, experts told the APThe headline should read, Opposition Team brings to light egregious flaws in Enbridge plans for oil tunnel
Enbridge put the tunnel out there to distract environmental.orgs from the ongoing operation of Line 5. The strategy worked perfectly. Now, all the focus is on opposing a popular infrastructure project while ignoring the ongoing operation of Line 5. OWDM played right into Enbridge's hands. No reasonable engineer doubts that a tunnel could be built, it is only a matter of cost. Meanwhile you look foolish for putting all your energy into opposing something that has a lot of public support and losing focus on the bigger issue.
Please take time to watch this press conference on the proposed tunnel build. Experts are identifying many issues
