Enbridge is trying hard for selling the propane pipeline tunnel 100 feet below the lakebed to the communities around the Straits of Mackinac.

"Michigan uses more propane than any other state and so Line 5 provides more than half the propane the state uses," says Duffy. "It would take more than 2,100 trucks a day to move all the product that Line 5 carries. It would take more than 800 train cars to carry the product Line 5 carries. And that's not a better alternative, it's not better ... and it's not safe. So, Line 5 is the safest way to move that especially through the U.P. where the roads close in the winter."
