Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has been trying to close Line 5 for more than a year. The state filed a lawsuit ordering Enbridge to shut down production, ostensibly because Line 5 was unsafe. The company countersued, claiming the pipeline, in 65 years of operation, has never had an accident or a leak. Enbridge says it has "no intention" of shutting down Line 5 and that the state's order "ignores scientific evidence and is based on inaccurate and outdated information."
