MONTPELIER, Vt. -
Environmental groups in Maine and Vermont are raising an alarm about the potential for tar sands oil to be piped across northern New England.
The groups say the Canadian energy firm Engridge Inc. is eyeing an existing oil pipeline that carries oil from Portland to Montreal with the idea of reversing the flow and sending Canadian tar sands oil through Portland.
Groups including the National Wildlife Federation, Natural Resources Defense Council and state-based organizations in Maine and Vermont say they'll fight the plan.
Enbridge spokesman Graham White says the company dropped a plan for the pipeline reversal in 2009 after determining it wasn't commercial viable.
A plan to move Canadian tar sands oil through a pipeline extending through the Great Plains to the Gulf Coast has generated heated national debate.
