Shut Down Line 5 - Support Gov Whitmer's termination of easement

Time Range For Action Alert: 
December 31, 2020

The Advocacy Committee and Environmental Subcommittee of the Ann Arbor Area League of Women Voters support Governor Whitmer in her decision to terminate the Enbridge Line 5 Easement that enabled Enbridge (a Canadian Oil Company) to use the Straits of Mackinac. 

 

  • We oppose Enbridge’s continued use of the 70-year-old Line 5 pipeline lying on the bottom of the Straits, and
  • We oppose Enbridge’s proposed tunnel under the Straits as a bad idea that should be turned down. 
  • We request that our LWVAAA members write to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, the Michigan Public Service Commission, your legislators, and the Governor in support of termination of the Enbridge Line 5 Easement and in opposition to the tunnel.
