1/ The Enbridge #Line5 pipeline, and the proposed oil tunnel to replace it, are a clear and present threat to the health of the Great Lakes and to our climate. They threaten the clean drinking water that millions depend upon. #shutdownline5
2/ And they would lock in decades of climate pollution that we can’t afford. Line 5 is a 66 year old pipeline that was built to last only 50 years, but that still uses Michigan and the Great Lakes as a short cut to deliver Canadian oil to Canadians. #shutdownline5
3/ This dangerous pipeline must be decommissioned, the proposed oil tunnel must not be built, and clean alternatives must be explored immediately. #shutdownline5
4/ It is imperative that we invest in building an American clean energy future, and defeat climate change with good-paying jobs that grow clean energy industries. But to do this, we must reject the dirty fossil fuel projects of the past. #shutdownline5
5/ Already the clean energy sector employs three times more American workers than those that work in fossil fuels – and four time as many in the Midwest. #shutdownline5
6/ My Freedom from Fossil Fuels Plan clearly articulates how America can and must reject projects like the Line 5 pipeline and tunnel, and transition our nation off of fossil fuels. #shutdownline5 jayinslee.com/issues/freedom…
7/ And my Evergreen Economy Plan shows how we will create 8 million good, family-wage and union jobs building a more just, innovative and inclusive clean energy economy. #shutdownline5 jayinslee.com/issues/evergre…
8/ I want to thank all of the groups fighting to protect their Great Lakes and our climate from the dangerous Line 5 oil pipeline. #shutdownline5
9/ When the Democratic debates come to Michigan later this month, the Enbridge Line should be a major topic. I hope that every fellow Democratic candidate for president joins me in opposing this dangerous pipeline. #shutdownline5 nytimes.com/aponline/2019/…
