USACE has advanced the Line 5 pipeline project with the release of their final EIS. Acting as a rubber stamp for Enbridge and Big Oil as Trump requested, their disregard for the climate impacts of the proposed oil tunnel threatens our Great Lakes, our community, and our future.

The answer may surprise you for how much the Line 5 oil tunnel would cost in terms of climate damages.
We must confront these potential damages to our Great Lakes way of life.

If the Line 5 oil tunnel is built, expect traffic chaos: 1,300 truckloads initially, then 282 trucks daily for six years—one every five minutes during the day. Our highways will become industrial zones. #ShutDownLine5 #NoLine5OilTunnel

Enbridge wanted a staging area to construct its oil tunnel below the Great Lakes so it quietly transferred ownership and paid Emmet County to turn it into a parking lot.
Gov. Whitmer: Don't let Enbridge continue destroying Indigenous sites for the sake of foreign oil profits. #NoLine5OilTunnel.
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. #NoLine5OilTunnel
It's Shark Week... we couldn't think of a better opportunity than for Gov. Whitmer to reject the Line 5 oil tunnel! #GreatLakesGreatSharks #NoLine5OilTunnel #ShutDownLine5
NEW POLL: A majority of Michiganders oppose the Enbridge Line 5 tunnel project when confronted with the fact that Enbridge, a foreign oil corporation, would be given an exclusive 99-year lease to operate in the Straits.

Virtual public meetings for the Line 5 oil tunnel permit begin Wednesday, but the Army Corps has refused to hold any in-person hearings and shortened the time for any public comment.
In other words, it's a sham process. #ShutDownLine5 #NoLine5OilTunnel
Approving new fossil fuel infrastructure in the heart of the Great Lakes, with a risk of leaking and explosion, relies on old ways of thinking.
Gov. Whitmer, please meet the moment and do the right thing. #ShutDownLine5 #NoLine5OilTunnel

“Nobody so far in this permitting process have looked at the actual environmental impacts of building a tunnel through the most sensitive part of the bottomlands of the Great Lakes." #ShutDownLine5 #NoLine5OilTunnel www.michiganpublic.org/environment-...
Seems reasonable, right? Line 5 in the Mackinac Straits is in bad shape, so putting it underground might be better. But unfortunately, the tunnel isn't a good solution, and here are just a few of the reasons why:
