The HEAT Report is a weekly newsletter focusing on how members of the House Energy Action Team (HEAT) promote American energy security, and an all-of-the-above energy economy.
The Latest:
With OPEC reducing oil production by two million barrels per day and President Biden responding by again raiding our Strategic Petroleum Reserve, Americans are once again getting a raw deal as they’re staring down a winter with no lower energy costs in sight.
Last week, HEAT leaders released a statement calling for President Biden to abandon his radical climate agenda, end our reliance on foreign oil, and fully unleash America’s energy production.
