The Michigan Chamber of Commerce today released the following statement from Jim Holcomb, president & CEO, after the Michigan Public Service Commission’s action on U-20763 – the application for the authority to replace and relocate the segment of Line 5 crossing the Straits of Mackinac into a tunnel beneath the Straits:
“The current challenges facing our state, country and globe – surging energy demand, historic inflation, supply chain disruptions – make it clearer than ever that we need Line 5 and the Great Lakes Tunnel for our energy, economic and environmental security. We fully agree that it’s essential all information is transparent and available, though do believe an extensive record of clear documentation denoting sound science exists. It’s time to move forward as quickly as possible to ensure our energy future, position us for economic prosperity and provide the best protection of our Great Lakes.”
