May 2026 Trivia
Answer D) Over 3 million barrels of dirty tar sands oil per day are transported through the Enbridge Mainline.
The tar sands oil transported through the Enbridge Mainline is 20-30% more carbon-intensive than conventional crude oil because of the energy it takes to extract and refine it. And the three million barrels of oil per day transported on Enbridge pipelines in northern Minnesota generate over one billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions per year–that’s the equivalent of around 250-300 coal plants.
