Businesses gather signatures opposing Line 5 tunnel following Bad River drilling fluid spill

Over 200 business leaders from the Great Lakes region are rallying to oppose the Line 5 tunnel project after a recent drilling fluid spill in the Bad River raised serious environmental concerns. They're urging the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy to deny permits for the pipeline, fearing its potential impact on the region's pristine waters. This opposition highlights growing anxiety over the project's risks, especially given the pipeline's proximity to vital freshwater sources, and underscores the business community's increasing role in environmental advocacy.
