A pipeline from the Great Lakes sounds like one of the worst possible things you could do.

It absolutely is. They would already be doing it if it weren't for treaties with Canada that bar such activity. MI, WI, MN or any of the other states couldn't do a thing to stop it, because that would be considered regulating interstate commerce. Only the EPA could stop it. The EPA is impotent, and we all know that we will scrap a treaty in a heartbeat if we think its damaging business. So, this is a very real possibility at some point in the future, a sad and scary possibility, but a real one nonetheless.
