Why did Sen. Palin approve...actually cheer for...exporting LNG to Japan rather than keep it in our country?

Palin backs shipping Alaskan LNG to Japan
"When we talk about energy, we have to consider the need to do all that we can to allow this nation to become energy-independent," Palin said earlier this month during the vice presidential debate. "It's a nonsensical position that we are in when we have domestic supplies of energy all over this great land. And East Coast politicians who don't allow energy-producing states like Alaska to produce these, to tap into them, and instead we're relying on foreign countries to produce for us."
This summer, Palin cheered the Energy Department for extending an export license for the Kenai Liquefied Natural Gas facility. The license allowed the Alaska plant to continue shipping its products to Asia through 2011.
So while the United States imported 771 billion cubic feet of natural gas last year from Trinidad and Tobago, Algeria, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Nigeria and Qatar, Alaska is expected to export 100 billion cubic feet to Asia over the next two years.
WTF??????
Woops, I meant Gov. Palin. My bad.

It is according to the crowd she is talking to. She speaks out of both sides of her mouth.

Now you see another example of how all oil and gas is sold to a worldwide market. Of course if Trinidad and Tobago, Algeria, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Nigeria and Qatar decided to embargo gas sales to the USA because of our support for Israel, like OPEC did in the 70s, we can still get it from Alaska. Dig?
