The Michigan Supreme Court ruled that the Michigan Public Service Commission must reassess its approval of Enbridge Energy's Line 5 tunnel project due to inadequate evaluation of environmental harms. The court found the commission failed to properly analyze potential impacts and compare alternatives, including greenhouse emissions and oil spill risks.
