But this is fine:

Oil drilling has expanded in western Everglades
Michele Bachmann comment highlights years of industry operations
September 12, 2011|By David Fleshler, Sun Sentinel
Republican politicians caught flak recently for suggesting oil exploration in the Everglades, but it’s actually been going on there for decades.

In fact, in the past year oil drilling in the western Everglades has quietly expanded.

BreitBurn Energy Partners, a Los Angeles company that has acquired leases on three South Florida oil fields, drilled five new wells in 2010 and 2011 on the eastern edge of Big Cypress National Preserve, a rugged wilderness inhabited by panthers, blackbears and more than two dozen other protected species.

...but it’s actually been going on there for decades.

Yep, for about 75 years.
