The facts about Line 3

The Enbridge Line 3 pipeline is wrong for Minnesota
  • The Line 3 pipeline would carry 760,000 barrels a day of sludgy tar sands oil 300 miles across northern Minnesota, crossing 200 water bodies including the Mississippi River twice
  • The oil from Line 3 will add more carbon to the atmosphere every year than the entire state of Minnesota emits
  • Between 1999 and 2013 there were at least 1,068 spills from Enbridge oil pipelines in the US that dumped 7.4 million gallons of oil into the environment
  • Line 3 would violate the treaty rights of the Anishinaabeg by endangering critical natural and cultural resources protected by the 1842, 1854, and 1855 treaties
What do Minnesotans get?
  • Enbridge expects to retain only 23 full-time workers for Line 3 after construction is completed
  • Only a third of the 4,000+ Line 3 construction jobs are being filled by MN workers

Line 3 crosses 200 water bodies including the Mississippi River twice
