Enbridge's Line 5 Tunnel Project Approved by Michigan Public Service Commission
TL;DR
The Michigan Public Service Commission has granted a permit for Enbridge's Line 5 replacement tunnel project, which would run through the Straits of Mackinac. The approval comes after years of legal battles with tribes and environmental groups. The project aims to replace the existing pipeline with an underground tunnel, but opponents argue it poses a threat to the Great Lakes and exacerbates the climate crisis. One more permit approval is needed from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
