Episode Details

Enbridge establishes a public safety fund to cover extra policing costs in Wisconsin, following a court order to reroute their Line five oil pipeline around the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa reservation. The fund, managed by a former sheriff, has no cap and remains confidential. Critics argue this creates a conflict of interest, while Indigenous communities oppose the pipeline due to spill risks near sensitive wetlands. The reroute faces protests and budgetary concerns, as local officials approve the deal with a close vote. Line five also faces battles in Michigan and tunnel plans under the Straits of Mackinac, highlighting ongoing tensions between energy firms, governments, and communities.
