Description
Earlier this month, Michigan regulators approved a key permit to build a
tunnel under the Great Lakes to house the controversial Line 5 oil
pipeline, prompting pushback from environmental advocates. POLITICO’s
Adam Aton breaks down the latest Line 5 news and how President Joe Biden
now must navigate tricky pipeline politics in a swing-state during an
election year. Plus, FERC on Tuesday launched an investigation into
whether it should exercise more oversight over large investment
companies’ stakes in public utilities.
