Enbridge Inc T.ENB

Vern Yu Letter

[youknowwhat]

to Govenor of Michigan is a good read and one can get it from a link in the Yahoo news. Warning very boring abd it is 7 pages of refuted Michigan's claims. well written and the lawyers no doubt had a big part in approving the letter. I do not believe Line 5 will be shut down and I believe Enbridge will prevail. Enbridge is right this is a political stunt versus anything to do with science etc etc. Good read.

That said, if the line is not in compliance with the easement terms and conditions (I strongly suspect it is not), and ENB cannot rectify the problem (which I believe it cannot, except to build the tunnel

You guys are applying sound logic and reason, but forgetting this is more of a political issue than an engineering or legal one. Politicians like Biden don't give a rat's a$$ that they signed these federal laws in the 70s and 80s, and neither does whitmer, because they think they can sway this in their favour by virtue of an agenda of fearmongering. Not only that, but the judges presiding
