Michigan Supreme Court tosses state regulator’s approval of Line 5 tunnel project

The Michigan Supreme Court ruled that the state regulator must reassess Enbridge Energy's Line 5 tunnel project due to insufficient analysis of environmental harms. The court found the Michigan Public Service Commission failed to properly evaluate potential impacts and alternatives, with the decision supported by six justices and one dissent. The pipeline, running through the Straits of Mackinac, faces challenges from tribal communities and environmental groups.
