The HEAT Report

December 14, 2022

The Latest:

As temperatures drop across the nation, home heating prices are skyrocketing and forcing families to choose between paying their utility bills or putting food on the table. The Energy Information Administration predicts home heating costs will rise this winter by double-digits, with some parts of the nation expecting to face increases of 45 percent.

President Biden chose to cancel and delay lease sales here at home, instead turning to hostile foreign nations to produce energy we can make here more cleanly and affordably. Republicans are ready to get to work in the new Congress to begin reversing this administration’s war on energy American.

 This Week's HEAT Member Highlights:
