Whitmer Plan to Revoke Line 5 Easement Threatens Reliable, Affordable Energy for Michigan
Whitmer Plan to Revoke Line 5 Easement Threatens Reliable, Affordable Energy for Michigan
- Residents at risk of exorbitant rates and unreliable service
"In her latest attack on Line 5, the pipeline that transports oil and natural gas liquids through the Straits of Mackinac, Michigan’s governor has moved to revoke the 1953 easement contract that allows the pipeline to operate.
This arbitrary and ill-advised move will shutter a key part of the state’s essential energy infrastructure, increase the price of heating and transportation fuels, and threaten thousands of jobs across the region.
...With the move to revoke the easement, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer appears to be fleshing out her green energy agenda that will, among other things, require Michigan to achieve net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050.
Stopping the flow of essential oil and natural gas liquids will certainly move the state toward that target. But it will also push Michigan residents toward an increasingly cold and dim future in which we pay exorbitant rates for the privilege of enduring rolling blackouts and limited, unreliable access to energy...Read all.

Blackwell: The Greatest Electoral Heist in American History
Blackwell: The Greatest Electoral Heist in American History
"The pieces are finally coming together, and they reveal a masterpiece of electoral larceny involving Big Tech oligarchs, activists, and government officials who prioritize partisanship over patriotism.
- The 2020 election was stolen because leftists were able to exploit the coronavirus pandemic to weaken, alter, and eliminate laws that were put in place over the course of decades to preserve the integrity of the ballot box.
- But just as importantly, it was stolen because those same leftists had a thoroughly-crafted plan, and because they were rigorous in its implementation and ruthless in its execution.
...All of this sounds like the stuff of fiction — the sort of thing one would expect from a cinematic thriller or a spy novel.
Sadly, it’s the reality that our country is faced with after years of placidity in the face of increasingly aggressive intervention into our electoral process on the part of Big Tech oligarchs and activists with deep pockets and shallow motivations...Read all!
