Prince George Citizen -- Enbridge maintains its responsible for Michigan oil spill
,February 3rd, 2011
Excerpted from the Prince George Citizen:
Following a report in the Michigan Messenger that Enbridge was arguing it was not legally liable for damages from the spill, a British Columbia environmental group lashed out at Enbridge.
ForestEthics says Enbridge's arguments in the Michigan court have implications for the company's proposed Northern Gateway pipeline.
“When the spill is in the media spotlight, oil companies will promise the world,” said ForestEthics spokesperson Nikki Skuce.
“As soon as costs start mounting and the spotlight begins to dim, they put the onus on stressed out, vulnerable residents to prove their liability."
