The #GreatLakes literally define Michigan. Our borders are the shore of 20% of all the accessible fresh surface water on Earth. Is this what Governor Whitmer wants her legacy to be? Years of disruptive construction pollution while the aged and dangerous pipeline remains a threat? #ShutDownLine5

Clean Water Action Michigan@cleanwatermi· 27d

Today Michigan issued permits for a destructive #GreatLakes oil tunnel. Disregarding experts, every tribal nation, & 100,000 comments to EGLE and Gov Whitmer. Choosing Enbridge over protecting #PureMichigan. For shame. Our water is worth fighting for. Our fight is not over. #ShutDownLine5.

PHMSA, the oversight agency charged with ensuring pipeline safety, has never actually taken a precautionary measure to shut down a pipeline. It’s time for PHMSA to break the pattern and protect our #GreatLakes before a disaster strikes. Read the full report below. @owdm.bsky.social #ShutDownLine5

Line 5 Update - new report exposes lack of intervention from federal pipeline oversight.

"PHMSA's own records show it hardly ever takes action to stop a rupture... Only 50 enforcement actions out of 10,000 plus incidents from the federal agency responsible for protecting the nation from oil spills - it is no wonder why there are hundreds of pipeline ruptures every year." - David Weaver, University of Michigan Law School

Every time a storm blows in, we have to worry about power being cut off. Michigan has one of the worst rankings for utility reliability in the US. Accountability legislation went nowhere. But $$$ did go to our politicians. Let's get DTE and Consumers out of MI politics. MopUpMichigan.org

Michigan Utility Reliability Performance Worse Than Ever, New CUB Report Finds
September 5, 2025

Michigan electric utilities take longer to restore power to customers following outages than utilities in any other state, while also performing poorly on most other metrics related to reliability, affordability and the environment, according to this year’s edition of the Citizens Utility Board (CUB) of Michigan’s annual Utility Performance Report.

Michigan utilities ranked 51st out of the 50 states and the District of Columbia in their performance on the Customer Average Interruption Duration Index (CAIDI), a measure of average power restoration time. They also ranked 50th on the System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI), a measure of total outage duration for each customer served, with only Maine utilities performing worse on that metric. The report’s rankings are based on U.S. Energy Information Administration data primarily drawn from 2023, the year with the most recent data available for most metrics.

On average, in Michigan it took about 12 hours to restore power following an outage in 2023, over twice as long as any other neighboring state. The second-worst state in the country was Maine, averaging over nine hours to restore power. But in Indiana, average power restoration time was over five hours, and in Ohio under five.
