I don't like the intermingling of business and politics as it corrupts those who should be working on behalf of all people by special interests.

That said, the Koch brothers are humanists and their agendas are motivated by promoting well-being for people. They have campaigned for politicians on both sides of the aisle, and promote ideas, not particular political groups, and have even pushed agendas that went against their economic interests.

Perhaps they are sometimes wrong about how best to serve humanity, but it seems clear to me their actions are in consideration for what is best for people, not necessarily what is best for their pocketbooks.

Considering the great good oil has done for humanity in the past 200 years, it's not unreasonable for humanists to want to promote continued fossil fuel use.
