This time, it's TransCanada of "our pipelines never leak except when they do" fame, and it's a natural gas pipeline.
500 people have been evacuated in rural Berrien County. The noise sounded like a tornado. The gas line rupture on a large main line destroyed trees and sent debris flying hundreds of feet in the air. A potato farmer's crops have been ruined.
Oh, and TransCanada is sorry for the inconvenience.
The last time Big Oil spilled in Fred Upton's district, it was the Kalamazoo River. Upton sent out press releases demanding answers for about a week, then shrugged and went right back to doing what he does best - representing Big Oil in Congress.
This time, Berrien County deserves better answers and better representation. Climate Hawks Vote has endorsed Upton's opponent, Paul Clements, who wants to bring clean energy jobs - not hazmat/first responder jobs! - to southwest Michigan. Yesterday, our organizer registered two voters; today, people are angry, and they want Upton gone. Clements is Upton's best challenger in years. Can you chip in to help our organizing on the ground, and to help vote Fred Upton out of office?
