No Oil Tunnel Petition

Not only has Enbridge repeatedly proven its unwillingness to respect agreements with native peoples unless forced to by court order, it has refused to maintain Line 5 in a satisfactorily safe or environmentally conscious way (if an oil & gas pipeline even can be environmentally conscious). Their bottom line should not be buoyed by state or federal government with a last minute non-solution to a problem they have already refused to solve. Enbridge should not be given a way out of the pit they’ve dug themselves, especially since it comes at such high risk to damage of the Great Lakes and its shorelines. Not only this, but continuation of this kind of infrastructure discourages moves to more sustainable options as it takes possible money from those projects and proves to the companies that they can just keep their current, more profitable structures and expect to be bailed out by the government.

Our state, our citizens and our environment should not be sacrificed for the wants of a giant corporation that cares nothing for our great lakes ecosystem. Enbridge thinks that they can hold us hostage by lying about their pipelines importance. People will say that Michiganders need the pipeline for fuel, which is exaggerated. Michigan needs a healthy great lakes system for the thousands of jobs and people who depend off tourism and recreation in our state. Nobody is going to visit the beaches if they are covered in oil. We need to prioritize the health of the great lakes, not the wellbeing of the Canadian oil market.

Shut Down Line 5. NO Tunnel

The Great Lakes are far too precious, and Enbridge is far too untrustworthy for this to be allowed.
