The MI Supreme Court has spoken: Tell Governor Whitmer to withdraw support for the Line 5 oil tunnel

The Michigan Supreme Court found the proposed Line 5 tunnel has no state siting approval required under federal law, and that Michigan Public Service Commission regulators can no longer ignore the public trust doctrine when a project like this puts the Great Lakes at risk. Ask Governor Whitmer to withdraw administration's support for the tunnel and to support Michigan's citizens and Tribal Nations by recommitting to shutting down Line 5 for good.

Tell EGLE and Whitmer to deny the wastewater permit for the Line 5 oil tunnel.

As wildfire smoke from climate change covered Michigan, EGLE reissued the tunnel's wetlands and bottomlands permits, brushing aside more than 70,000 public comments opposing this project. One EGLE decision is still pending: the NPDES permit to dump construction wastewater into Lake Michigan. Tell Director Roos to deny it, and tell Governor Whitmer to keep her promise and shut down Line 5.
