I agree with you on all of your points. It is apparent to me that the Koch Bros and the pacs seeking to influence the Senators often have ulterior motives. They are trying to benefit their industries by holding nat gas prices low by limiting exports and restricting build out of critical infrastructure which would allow more efficient use of nat gas. In my opinion, this is really not a conservative vs. liberal issue. More or less it depends on economic issues and benefits which are dependent on industry specific factors.

In this instance, I think that TBP interests are more in line with the best interests of the Country than the Koch Bros. Clean fuel, reducing oil imports, improving energy independence and creating jobs should trump the chemical and Ag industries right to ultra cheap fuel ($2 mcf vs $10 throughout the rest of the world).
