Environmental groups appeal Michigan regulators' approval of Enbridge's Line 5 oil pipeline tunnel, arguing insufficient consideration of climate impacts and alternatives.
Environmental groups, including the Environmental Law & Policy Center and Michigan Climate Action Network, are appealing Michigan regulators' approval of Enbridge's Line 5 oil pipeline tunnel in the lakebed of the Straits of Mackinac. They argue the Michigan Public Service Commission failed to properly consider alternatives to minimize climate impacts and did not adopt methodology to measure potential climate change effects. The groups maintain that shutting down the aging pipeline is the only safe and effective option.
