Enbridge’s Line 5 project has received another permit.

Happy Tuesday!    

We said we would let you know if we hear anything in regard to Enbridge’s Line 5; see our previous blogs on this important connection to Canada.  Well, their back in the news with some good news. 

Did anyone see The Houston Chronicle’s Business Section on October 30, 2025, they reprinted an article from the Associated Press titled, “Plan to encase Great Lakes oil pipeline OK’d”?  In the article, it speaks on how the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) last week gave Enbridge’s Line 5 a green flag.  The approval was in spite of their own research and environmental analysis showing the tunnel project’s construction may be a problem with natural habitat in the area.  The permitting process was sped up by the current administration in its goal of attaining energy dominance.  USACE’s permit shows the Line 5 tunnel project conformed to all federal regulatory codes and standards.  Enbridge’s Line 5 only has one more permit to attain, and we wish them luck.  We will try and keep you informed on anything else we hear on this important pipeline.  If you would like to read more of Associated Press’ article for free on msn, please click the link: US Army Corps of Engineers approves Enbridge plan to encase aging Great Lakes oilpipeline.
