Prevent a Serious Accident. Turn off Pipeline #5.
Two 62-year old oil pipelines are threatening the Great lakes. Called Line 5, owned by Enbridge, a Canadian energy company, they carry 23-million gallons of crude oil daily. They pass between the state's upper and lower peninsulas along the bottom of the Straits of Mackinaw. Oil and water don't mix, and if the lines were to rupture, they would spill oil across the Great Lakes. Please act now and make Enbridge shut the pipeline down.
Why is this important?
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," certainly applies to our Great Lakes. These pipelines are old and pose a severe risk to our region's most precious natural resource.
During your campaign you spoke about being a strong protector of our natural resources. Now is your chance as a lawmaker to let your walking do your talking. Please take actions that would immediately shut down this dangerous infrastructure across the Straits of Mackinaw.
