Enbridge, the company responsible for the worst oil spill in Michigan history, runs a pair of pipelines along the bottom of the Straits of Mackinac just west of the Mackinac Bridge. Each day they pump 540,000 barrels -- nearly 1 million gallons of petroleum per hour -- of petroleum products through the pipelines as they take a shortcut from one part of Canada to another by routing it through our state.



Here’s a map that shows how Line 5 is simply a shortcut through Michigan for Enbridge:
