No.

It’s a sanctuary pipeline.

Not subject to her authority.

Right?

The proper response is for Michiganders (and other affected) to ask what it takes to keep that pipeline open if they wish to do so, or - how would you prevent the pipeline from being turned off.

This is for your survival. All options are on the table.

Again, if you think something like this could start a 2nd Civil War, think again - you’re already in it. We need to start being blunt here. Bitching and bellyaching won’t reverse the course.

just my $0.02

jimjohn - OUT.

I can’t believe the Michigan GOP did not have the guts to start a recall.

Tells me everything I need to know.

Complete losers.

Democrats are an embarrassment. They shouldn’t be running anything including a lemonade stand.

I thought that pipeline is carrying Canadian gas?

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/may/11/michigan-governor-enbridge-line5-shutdown

For nearly 67 years, Enbridge has moved oil and natural gas from western Canada through Michigan and the Great Lakes to refineries in the province of Ontario.

But Michigan says that one section to the pipeline – Line 5 – is too risky to continue operating.

In November, the Michigan governor, Gretchen Whitmer, announced a plan to revoke the easement granted to Enbridge, which permits Line 5 to cross under the Straits of Mackinac. Whitmer set 12 May as the deadline for the Canadian energy giant to shut down the pipeline.

Does the Michigan State Constitution allow recall?

There was talk about impeachment but I imagine they counted state senate noses and realized they didn’t have the numbers.

"Not really, it supplies 40% of Michigan's propane which is a heating fuel outside the urban areas and about 10% of the State's crude. In addition, it gets sent to Sarnia Ontario, and after refining it, some re-crosses the border as gasoline. The same also takes place at the Nanticoke refinery on the North Shore of Lake Erie, it gets trucked across the border at Buffalo and Lewiston."

Very interesting post. So Whitmer manages to hurt both the US and Canada at the same time. She must be a true believer who wants to destroy civilization while pushing greenpower no matter the damage, death and destruction.

Enbridge told her to go Eff herself.

What is wrong with this woman?

Seriously, you have to ask?

I'm so glad I divorced more than 4 years ago now and no longer own my hunting camp in Michigan's upper penninsula. This b*tch and her ilk aren't getting any more money from me.

It supplies over 90% of the L-P in the UP of Michigan. All of it goes for home heating/use. Some of it goes for manufacturing.

What stated this BS is some shipping company from Escanaba dragged their GD anchor over that pipeline at the straits. It bent the heck out of it but did not cause any leak.

They (oil company) is suing the shit out of that shipping company.

Do you know which shipping company?

Escanaba has been a loading port for iron ore pellets and a discharge port for coal.

No I do not. I guess it happened about 4 or 5 years ago.

There are a couple there. They all have barges. T barges where they cut a V out of the back of the ship and drive the tugs up in there to push them.
