Reminder: a natural gas explosion during construction of a tunnel under Lake Huron killed 17 workers. Engineering experts have testified that Enbridge's proposed Line 5 oil tunnel project also carries the risk of explosion.
Let's not have history repeat itself. #ShutDownLine5
The Great Lakes hold 84 percent of North America's available, fresh surface water. Let's not take this treasure right in our backyards for granted. #ShutDownLine5

Enbridge likely trying to set up a scenario where they can pursue a SLAPP suit similar to the one currently levied against Greenpeace in the dakota access pipeline protest litigation...

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. 🤔

Line 5 Dad Joke: Question asks how many future generations to protect the Great Lakes for. Answer: "6-7".
The question for Michigan - Should taxpayers bear $4+ billion in risk for a private company's profits, for a pipeline that primarily serves Canada?

Public records confirm Enbridge's shell game. Enbridge's subsidiaries lack resources for major oil spill response. Enbridge itself has testified under oath that it is not contractually obligated to stand behind its subsidiaries
No Michigan agency has yet completed a comprehensive review of the Line 5 tunnel project or its impact on the Great Lakes. Michigan is stumbling towards a decision on a massive infrastructure project with incomplete reviews, ignored internal warnings, and potentially catastrophic financial consequences for taxpayers.
This report comes amid a deadline for the public to submit comments to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for a supplemental draft environmental impact statement for the Line 5 tunnel project in the Straits of Mackinac. #ShutDownLine5

Risky Line 5 Tunnel - How Michigan Could Stick Taxpayers With A $4 Billion Bill
BREAKING: Oil & Water Don't Mix @owdm.bsky.social has just released a bombshell report outlining the $4 billion risk that Michigan taxpayers would face if Gov Whitmer and EGLE approve permits for the Line 5 oil tunnel.

“Enbridge and the Army Corps are realizing that the original tunnel proposal is a risky endeavor that would threaten taxpayers and the environment... Why would we trust this new proposal any more than the original one?”

Green poster with white text listing beliefs: collective action, caring for others, protecting the Great Lakes, eliminating oil spills, and Gov. Whitmer's power to deny Enbridge's oil tunnel permit. Each belief is followed by a green checkmark. At the bottom, it says "Oil & Water Don't Mix" with a logo.
