Enbridge is trying to keep climate impacts from being considered as the State reviews their proposed oil tunnel. Esosa is one of the attorneys leading the fight to get the state of Michigan to consider the climate impacts of Enbridge’s massive oil tunnel as part of its review.

In this episode we interview Esosa Aimufua, an associate attorney at Environmental Law & Policy Center (ELPC). We talk about how Enbridge Energy, the Canadian company that owns and operates the 68 year old Line 5 oil pipeline, is trying to build an oil tunnel under the Straits of Mackinac that could operate for another 99 years. Enbridge is trying to keep climate impacts from being considered as the State reviews their proposed oil tunnel. Esosa is one of the attorneys leading the fight to get the State of Michigan to consider the climate impacts of Enbridge’s massive oil tunnel as part of its review. She is one of the attorneys representing MiCAN as we intervene in this case before the Michigan Public Service Commission.
