We’re in a clean energy world, and new dirty fossil fuel infrastructure has no place in it. Gov. Whitmer’s administration should reject the Line 5 oil tunnel because it's bad for our climate goals and the Great Lakes.

“Enbridge and the Army Corps are realizing that the original tunnel proposal is a risky endeavor that would threaten taxpayers and the environment,” said Sean McBrearty, campaign coordinator of the Oil & Water Don’t Mix coalition.

Hey if you're into energy, environment, pipelines, Great Lakes, Indigenous rights, or just a habitable planet, checkout this webinar about how we can start to dismantle the infrastructure that sustains fossil capitalism. It's a great panel that happens to include me. @billmckibben.bsky.social

On October 29 @USACEHQ approved Enbridge's plans to reroute the aging Line 5 oil pipeline, a move that would put wetlands and fragile Great Lakes ecosystems in harms way.

OWDM Responds to U.S. Army Corps Approval of Line 5 Reroute in Wisconsin. Tribal sovereignty and treaty rights remain under threat While the reroute proposal may remove a portion of the pipeline from tribal lands, the permit fails to address the broader problem: this decision allows continued potential impacts on Bad River Band lands and reliance on a decades-old pipeline carrying millions of gallons of crude oil and natural-gas liquids daily through sensitive ecosystems in the Great Lakes Basin. It signals a troubling pattern of fast-tracked fossil-fuel infrastructure approvals that prioritize corporate interests...

In light of the US Army Corps of Engineers' illegal decision to grant Enbridge its permit to reroute Line 5 in Wisconsin, it's worth revisiting this from last spring.

It’s 2010 - Talmadge Creek, Marshall, Michigan. On Sunday, July 25, an Enbridge pipeline ruptures and more than one million gallons of crude oil surge down Talmadge and into the Kalamazoo. The event becomes one of the worst inland oil spills of all time.
