Wednesday is a critical day for Enbridge’s Line 5 pipeline. May 12 marks 180 days since Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer “gave notice that the state was terminating a 1953 easement for the pipeline,” which carries oil to refineries in Ontario through Wisconsin and Michigan. Whitmer said Line 5 “poses an unacceptable risk of a catastrophic oil spill,” the National Observer reports.
