Both Biden and the governor are ideologists.

“These steps are a handful of belated half-measures that put far too much faith in a company that has consistently misled the public. This isn’t enough, and for the sake of the one million jobs that depend on the health of our Great Lakes, we must do everything in our power to protect them. That is why as Governor, I will immediately file to enjoin the easement and begin the legal process to decommission Line 5, and anything short of that is insincere.
Asking Enbridge for another study is about as effective as asking a fox to guard a hen house. Replacing a fraction of a 645-mile pipe under the St. Clair River means very little to someone whose job depends on the Great Lakes. And there’s no weather, including “sustained adverse weather,” that permits timely response to an oil spill. It’s time for Michigan to elect a Governor who has a real plan to get the oil out of the great lakes.”

She got elected and made an ideological promise, so she did.
Biden got elected and made an ideological promise, so he did.
For all the talk of how Kenney made a bad gamble with Keystone XL, what about Trudeau? He had over 3 years to plan and get Energy East done as a pipeline with national interest. The writing was on the wall years ago for Line 5 when Whitmer was elected 2 years ago.
Now he's scrambling because Quebec will be impacted. Ridiculous.
