On behalf of The Environmental Law & Policy Center, The Michigan Climate Action Network, and the Bay Mills Indian Community, Clinic Director and Senior Economist Liz Stanton, PhD filed testimony on the Enbridge Energy LP (Enbridge) application to replace and relocate a segment of an oil and natural gas pipeline (Line 5)that crosses the Straits of Mackinac into a tunnel underneath the Straits of Mackinac. Dr. Stanton found that Enbridge failed to consider a “no-action” alternative to replace the oil pipeline and that shutting down the existing line is not only feasible but would also likely have a positive impact on Michigan’s economy while accelerating the state’s transition to a zero-carbon economy.
