Yea it was made in the 50s….it can’t be in good shape. Has anyone got an alternative to this? Can they not re-route this a safer way around the water? They should have never put this under the water in a tunnel or otherwise.

I think even they acknowledge it’s too old to keep going. Their solution, build another one but put it inside of a tunnel. Still not acceptable. The tribes were never given a say back when it was put in, and our governor has been putting pressure on Biden to shut it down, but Canada is pushing back and refusing. We always painted as the devils and the Canadians as the angels, but they have and continue to do just as much wrong as we do! Canada needs to stop piping oil here, period, whether it is through Line 5 or Line 3 in a state or two over that cuts right through sacred Indian territory! As long as we keep sucking on the oil teat we’ll never feel the urgency that our planet is going to die and us along with it if we don’t stop draining the blood (oil) out of our mother.

The whole thing is a mess…nothing was planned earlier. Our electrical grid can’t handle all electric but they can’t get this stuff near the water…that would be a huge no for me.
I thought…then why not trucks? Well I saw a graph where it would take 90 trucks per hour…but yea…something will have to be done…I can’t believe it is that old. There has to be another way…but for goodness sake…keep it away from the water!
