Bringing it back federally is a problem. However, it's also a ridiculous thing to have the federal government take measures to subsidize wasteful expenditures, too. I assume that if it's not right for the federal government to mandate lower speeds, then it's not right for them to give in and open up federal lands for mineral exploitation?

Do you favor government control or don't you? The government is controlling mineral exploration. Lifting those restrictions would be loosening control. Lowering speed limits would be increasing restrictions. Your analogy is not consistent.
