Summary
Michigan’s environmental regulators are re-examining permits for Enbridge’s Line 5 tunnel project after a Supreme Court ruling demands deeper environmental reviews. Governor Whitmer is pushing the company to shut down the aging pipeline within months, calling it a “ticking time bomb” in the Great Lakes. While environmental groups and tribes see this as a victory, unions and business interests label it a “slap in the face,” arguing the tunnel is vital for safety and jobs. Enbridge insists it’s ready to discuss safe operations but continues pumping oil while seeking permits. Though permits remain intact, legal hurdles now delay construction — and Whitmer urges alternatives that could remove oil from the Straits faster without crippling energy access.
