If Line 5 were shut down (from the ENB website)
Line 5 supplies 65% of propane demand in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, and 55% of Michigan’s statewide propane needs.
The light crude transported by Line 5 feeds refineries in the Upper Midwest and Eastern Canada.
If Line 5 were shut down:
* Refineries served by Enbridge in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Ontario and Quebec would receive approximately 45% less crude from Enbridge than their current demand.
* Michigan would face a 756,000-US-gallons-a-day propane supply shortage, since there are no short-term alternatives for transporting NGL to market.
* The region (Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Ontario and Quebec) would see a 14.7-million-US-gallons-a-day supply shortage of gas, diesel and jet fuel (about 45% of current supply).
* Michigan would need to find an alternative supply for anywhere from 4.2 million to 7.77 million US gallons of refined products a day (gas, diesel, jet fuel and propane)

Gov. Whitmor knows she has no chance of shutting down line 5, nor does she want that to happen. She's just making overtures towards the extremist environmentalists. She wants to score points with them for political reasons. She's very insincere.

Chief legal officer just added 5500 more shares, nice vote of confidence from an insider.

Spot on. Especially since this individual is involved and well aware of all LEGAL developments on L5/L3 disputes.
