The news just gets crazier and more coincidental every day.
Just days after the Colonial Pipeline shut down, Michigan has ordered the shutdown of the Enbridge Pipeline to Canada.
Michigan officials say that a section of the pipeline, Line 5, is too dangerous to continue operation.
Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer originally campaigned on shutting down the pipeline.
Back in November, she revoked the easement that was granted to Enbridge, which permitted Line 5 from crossing under the Straits of Mackinac.
Whitmer said:
“These oil pipelines in the Straits of Mackinac are a ticking timebomb, and their continued presence violates the public trust and poses a grave threat to Michigan’s environment and economy.”
