We're running up on the deadline to contact Gov. Whitmer and EGLE to prevent Enbridge's dangerous Line 5 tunnel scheme.  Send them a message now: https://www.oilandwaterdontmix.org/decision_watch

Our last chance to stop Enbridge from constructing a dirty, dangerous fossil fuel tunnel through the heart of the Great Lakes is soon approaching. Contact Gov. Whitmer before the end of the week: https://www.oilandwaterdontmix.org/decision_watch

We already know that physical oil spills in the Great Lakes are devastating. But what about the daily threat of carbon dioxide polluting our air with fossil fuel infrastructure like Line 5? Read more: open.substack.com/pub/thecurre...

NEWS: Right as @MichiganEGLE mulls its permitting decision for the Line 5 oil tunnel later this month, the agency sent a letter to Enbridge asking for more information about how the tunnel will impact Tribal cultural resources in the Straits. (1/3) www.mlive.com/environment/...

The EPA has proposed new rules that would weaken state & tribal authority under the Clean Water Act, making it easier for oil pipeline companies to push risky projects through federal permitting, even when they threaten water quality. Take action with us: www.oilandwaterdontmix.org/stop_rigging...

Skiers beware - don't get an oil spill ruin your winter plans. It’s up to us as stewards of the Great Lakes to stand together to protect our health, communities and environment and say #ShutDownLine5.

Folks, we're in the final stretch to make public comments to EGLE to reject Enbridge's permits for the Line 5 oil tunnel.  Governor Whitmer's administration has a responsibility to stand up for the Great Lakes and reject this risky proposal: https://www.oilandwaterdontmix.org/decision_watch

While a Line 5 tunnel lines the pockets of greedy corporations, it will cost our communities billions in climate damages - $41 billion until the year 2070. Governor Whitmer: Protect the Great Lakes and reject the tunnel project.

Last month, we released a report about the huge financial risk that Michigan taxpayers would face if Enbridge's Line 5 oil tunnel gets built. It would be irresponsible for @GovWhitmer's administration to sign off on this deal. Contact them now: www.oilandwaterdontmix.org/stunning_new...

Did you know that if a Line 5 oil spill were to happen in wintertime, cleanup costs could reach up to $1 billion? Keep in mind that this figure is a decade old and could likely be much more!

The threat of a Line 5 oil spill remains, even in the harsh winter months. It's a good reminder about why we need to #ShutDownLine5.

Flow Water Advocates has filed a brief with the Michigan Supreme Court challenging the permit for Enbridge’s proposed Line 5 tunnel under the Straits of Mackinac. They argue the Michigan Public Service Commission failed to uphold its public trust duties to protect Great Lakes waters.

Big Enbridge Line 5-related arguments on deck. In February, it will be SCOTUS. In March, it will be the Michigan Supreme Court (calendar cases 2 and 3).

As we enter a new year, what remains the same is what we're calling for: Gov. Whitmer to reject the Line 5 oil tunnel plan. Join us in taking action: https://www.oilandwaterdontmix.org/no_oil_tunnel

In Michigan, we believe in keeping our promises. Enbridge’s plan to build an oil tunnel in the Great Lakes violates long standing federal treaties with Native American tribes and should not be allowed to happen. We need to reject the tunnel plan and shut down Line 5.

Across the entire Great Lakes and beyond, we wish everyone in the fight to #ShutDownLine5 a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

Guess who made the Naughty List this year? You guessed it.

This week, a federal judge ruled that Michigan and Tribal Nations cannot take actions to safeguard 20% of the world's available, fresh surface water from corporate polluters. Read the what this decision means for our work to #ShutDownLine5 going forward: thecurrentowdm.substack.com/p/its-the-en...

When Line 6B ruptured, Enbridge didn't notice anything wrong. 17 hours and a million gallons later, a utility worker sounded the alarm. Maybe we shouldn't have an oil pipeline in one of the most complex Great Lakes waterways at all. 🤔 #ShutDownLine5 @owdm.bsky.social

Giving Enbridge a free pass to build an oil tunnel in the Great Lakes, and Michigan risking it all just for a foreign corporate polluter? No thanks. It’s time to reject Enbridge’s tunnel plan and #ShutDownLine5.

#happyhannukah #shutdownline5

I wrote a thing.

The Line 5 tunnel project is for Enbridge profit, not for Great Lakes safety. A 2018 agreement with the State of Michigan allows old Line 5 to continue operating until the tunnel is ready, which means Enbridge will have earned $6 billion in the decade awaiting the tunnel whether or not it’s built.

What happens when an entire industry - including Enbridge - hides behind a single word? Read more to find out:

No governmental agency has conducted an independent review of the Line 5 tunnel project. A “trust us” pinky promise from a company like Enbridge isn’t good enough. Demand @GovWhitmer and @MichiganEGLE conduct a comprehensive review of the proposed Great Lakes tunnel.

Environmental groups warn: proposed Line 5 tunnel under Straits of Mackinac could shift billions in financial risk to taxpayers. “MI taxpayers could be responsible for catastrophic cleanup... public health emergencies, infrastructure disruptions...” — Sean McBrearty, @cleanwatermi.bsky.social
