If ever there was proof that this is an ideological struggle for these obstructers and has eff all to do with the environment they're successfully blocking the replacement of a 60+ year old pipeline with a new much safer pipeline. Same with the moron AG and Governor of Michigan who are trying to tear up an agreement Enbridge reached with the previous administration to tunnel under the strait linking lakes Michigan and Huron to replace another 60 year old pipe on the lakebed. Credit to whoever still has hair working in Enbridge's legal department, I would have torn that #### out years ago with all the ####ery they have to put up with. Line 3 was supposed to be done at the end of 2019 and now it might not even get finished in 2021. So ridiculous haha, at some point this just goes beyond infuriating to be macabrely funny.

I am going to give credit where it is due. The money behind the green movement is both well coordinated and very strategically smart.
They have decades of investment where they have put politicians and judges that favor policy that makes their inferior technology the only choice, artificially killing off the competition. Politicians help shape the education system to have environmentally heavy messaging in classrooms. Politicians outright show hostility to oil and gas while ignoring their economic benefit. Judges appointed in a system that facilitates appointment of like minded judges appointed by said politicians ensures court cases drag on forever.
Finally they have run a manipulative education campaign through movies, documentaries, and social media to ensure the public sees this as a war of good and evil.
It's brilliant....at making a small group of rich people ensure they are at the front of making more money with inferior technology that is the only technology available to use.
We are going to wake up in several decades poorer, worse off, and with no noticeable difference in climate. Realizing we were all swindled by the same rich people who swindled all of us before.
It is staggeringly brilliant to watch the puppets dance to be honest.
