Oil & Water Don't Mix: A Rally for the Great Lakes

A million gallons of poisonous tar sands oil ruined part of the Kalamazoo River as it spilled from a poorly maintained pipeline owned and operated by Enbridge Energy. Enbridge, the same company with over 800 pipeline spills since 1999, has also been pumping oil through two sixty year old pipelines that run through the Straits of Mackinac. Now, they are planning to drastically increase the capacity to pump even more oil through the Straits – which could include the most toxic and corrosive tar sands oil from Alberta, Canada.
