"N.H.’s Shea-Porter introduces pipeline amendment
US Representative Carol Shea-Porter of New Hampshire has introduced an amendment that would protect pipeline activity between Portland, Maine, and Montreal. The amendment introduced Tuesday would protect environmental interests from being affected by pending legislation to approve the Keystone XL pipeline, which would carry 800,000 barrels of oil a day from Alberta across six US states to the Texas Gulf Coast. The Obama administration is considering whether to approve the pipeline. There has been concern that an oil-carrying pipeline from Maine to Montreal could have its flow reversed and carry Canadian tar sands oil through Vermont, New Hampshire, and western Maine."
