Hey, what could possibly go wrong?
HOUSTON — The number of rigs actively exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. increased by 12 this week to 1,518.
So in the same week when heavy oil from the Deepwater Horizon disaster has engaged the Louisiana wetlands and the same week when estimates for the size of the spill have well exceeded the Exxon Valdez disaster, 12 new oil rigs have been completed. We're smart.
