 Minnesota regulators have postponed a meeting on Enbridge Energy's planned Line 3 replacement after protesters disrupted the meeting. Protests broke out in the hearing room today as the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission met to discuss whether Enbridge met conditions earlier imposed by the panel. The PUC approved the project in June, giving Enbridge a green light to replace its aging Line 3 crude oil pipeline across Minnesota. Pipeline opponents took out a bullhorn and made speeches aimed at commissioners. PUC chairwoman Nancy Lang recessed the meeting and eventually canceled it. Line 3 runs from Alberta, Canada across North Dakota and Minnesota to Enbridge's terminal in Superior, Wisconsin. Native American and environmental activists contend the new line's risk spills in fragile areas. Enbridge Energy issued a statement regarding today's postponement. Part of it reads, quote, What happened today crossed the line, disrupting the hearing room and attempting to intimidate the commissioners are not acceptable behaviors. We look forward to the resumption of the regulatory process. That what is in, that is what is in the best interests of Minnesota and Minnesotans.
