In November, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer said she would revoke a 1953 easement that allows Line 5 to cross the Straits of Mackinac, citing worries over potential oil spills. Calgary-based Enbridge, the operator of the pipeline, was given until May 12 to shut down.
How many spills have they had the last 70 years? 1 ?
However, Enbridge:
“We have no intention of shutting down pipelines based on these unspecified allegations (from the state),” the company said in an emailed statement. “We will not shut-in Line 5 unless ordered by a court or our regulator the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, which we view as highly unlikely.”
I can definitely see the americans courts ordering a shut down - and it will happen during peak travel season. Ooops.
