During the May 12, 2021 Enbridge Eviction events in Mackinaw City and Harbor Springs, Michigan, David Joe Bates of the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa explains how Enbridge's Line 5 threatens the Tribe's heartland — the Bad River, or Mashkii Ziibii, "Medicine River."
The case against shutting down #Line5 is the importance of the oil it carries to industry, and the importance of industry's products to the public. Is there some new reason to believe it is risky environmentally?
From the #ClimateChange perspective, we need to reduce consumer use; punishing production and transport locally will not work.
Killing Line 5 will only make people realize how much we need fossil fuels
