SIGN THE PETITION

This is how we make our government accountable to the people. We'll deliver your signature to tell Gov. Whitmer the will of the people is to #ShutDownLine5

Building a tunnel for Enbridge Line 5 through the Straits of Mackinac is not a solution to protect the Great Lakes, 400 other water bodies, including Lake Michigan, or our dangerously overheating climate.

Oil BurnSign to protect the Great Lakes from *another Line 5 oil spill

Dear Gov. Whitmer:

An oil tunnel through the public bottomlands of the Straits of Mackinac won’t protect the Great Lakes from a 645-mile long, 71-year-old Line 5 crude oil pipeline that has leaked at least 33 times into Michigan's environment. Even when its oil isn't spilling into the water, it adds to our climate crisis when burned by spilling carbon into the atmosphere every day. The time to end the threat of a catastrophic oil pipeline rupture is now. Instead of leaving a vulnerable and hazardous oil pipeline operating in the Mackinac Straits for years while trusting a dishonest Enbridge to protect the Great Lakes, I support your action to revoke the Line 5 easement and urge you to prevent an oil tunnel from being constructed.

* Yes, Enbridge Line 5 has already spilled 33 times and 1.1 million gallons.

    The Line 5 Tunnel would be a disaster. It’s time to phase out fossil fuels and embrace renewables, energy efficiency, battery storage, and energy conservation.

    I’m particularly compelled by the local tribes opposition to this pipeline. I would encourage you to reengage them fully.

    Please watch the movie “Bad River” to see the unprepared, and insincere reactions of Enbridge towards the dangers to Wisconsin’s waterways, and their continuing with aged pipes, without paying for over 20 years, with NO emergency plan, NO one to contact when a spill was discovered. Enbridge cannot be trusted. Our only clean water cannot be for sale and gambled away for archaic fossil fuel. DO THE RIGHT THING FOR ALL FUTURE GENERATIONS!

    Oil pipelines in water aquifers are slow motion suicide, requiring a psychiatric intervention, to prevent intentional and/or coincidental harm, to everyone.

    With a forty-year (recently retired) professional career in the research and study of Great Lakes history, culture and the environment, I consider the Enbridge Line 5 to be a most significant threat to the future use of this most valuable freshwater resource.

    Please, Governor Whitmer, protect the Great Lakes from the very real potential, and probable, devastating disaster posed by Line 5. Please take a stand and prevent the oil tunnel from being built, and shut down Line 5 permanently.
