Michigan: Activists Demand Shutdown of Enbridge Line 5

HeadlineJul 08, 2016

And in Michigan, dozens of activists have protested outside the house of Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette to demand he move to shut down an aging oil pipeline known as Line 5. A University of Michigan study says that hundreds of miles of Michigan’s shoreline would be at risk of contamination if Line 5 leaks. The pipeline is owned by Enbridge, the company responsible for a massive pipeline break in 2010, which dumped about 800,000 gallons of crude oil into a tributary of the Kalamazoo River.
