Michigan Supreme Court rejects permit for Enbridge oil pipeline under Great Lakes

The Michigan Supreme Court ordered regulators to reconsider a permit for Enbridge's proposed pipeline tunnel under the Great Lakes, ruling that environmental impacts and alternatives were inadequately assessed. The 6-1 decision challenges the future of Line 5, a 73-year-old pipeline, as environmentalists and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer argue it poses a catastrophic spill risk to the region.
