Quote from the now flagged article.

> Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke called the decision an important step toward “American energy dominance.”

We can no longer afford the delusion that our leaders are mature and practical men.

I'm struggling to find immaturity or impracticality in that quote.

Also your reply is redundant: You posted a sibling comment echoing parent's phallic framing of the topic.

It's not really my problem if you can't see that the quote is about nothing more than the desire for power for it's own sake. And particular it's backwards looking rather than forward looking. Because power in the 21st Century won't be about oil.
