Each day they pump 540,000 barrels -- nearly 1 million gallons of petroleum per hour -- of petroleum products through the pipelines as they take a shortcut from one part of Canada to another by routing it through our state. Here’s a map that shows how Line 5 is simply a shortcut through Michigan for Enbridge: Image courtesy of For Love of Water (FLOW) Chris Savage at Eclectablog: Big Oil AstroTurf group comes to the rescue of Enbridge Energy and its ticking time bomb, the 66-year old Line 5 pipeline Ron Fonger at MLive: Flint mismanaged service line replacements, failed to keep promises, judge says Chris Savage can be found on Twitter at @Eclectablog.

Mike Grunwald at Politico: My Life In the Elusive Green Economy Mike Grunwald at Canary Media: This Super-Tree Could Help Feed the World and Fight Climate Change Mike Grunwald at Canary Media: Afraid of high-tech food? Get over it Mike Grunwald at The New York Times: No One Wants to Say ‘Put Down That Burger,’ but We Really Should Excerpt: “The basic problem is that we’ve converted half of Earth’s habitable land into agricultural land. We’re destroying and degrading the habitats of other species to grow food for our own.” “The crux is that if current eating and farming trends continue, the world will clear land equal to at least one and a quarter Indias by 2050. That would be a disaster for the climate and wildlife, dooming carbon-rich and biodiverse ecosystems like the Amazon and Congo rainforests.” “About a third of the food grown on Earth is lost or tossed before it reaches our mouths, which means a third of the land (as well as the water, fertilizer and other resources) used to grow that food is also wasted.” Beth LeBlanc and Craig Mauger at The Detroit News: Michigan Democrats' first bills include right-to-work repeal, prevailing wage Mitch Smith at The New York Times: Statehouse Democrats Embrace an Unfamiliar Reality: Full Power Chris Savage can be found on Twitter at @Eclectablog.
