Talmadge Creek is a tributary to the Kalamazoo River which outfalls to Lake Michigan. The Line 6B spill was the biggest and costliest inland spill in US history and it happened in our backyard. In this post we reflect on its impact, what might have happened if Enbridge went bankrupt, and how FCEVs have rendered oil technologically obsolete.
