Citizens Energy Corp., the Massachu-
setts-based nonprofit run by Joseph P.
Kennedy II that has distributed Venezuela-
donated home heating oil in the U.S. since
2005, had not yet received this winter’s
shipment in early January, according to the
Associated Press.
In recent years, the first shipments
from Venezuela would have arrived in late
November or early December and have
been delivered by now. A spokesman for
the Citizens Energy, Brian O’Connor, told
the AP that thousands of people had called
inquiring about the oil. “We verymuch hope
that the Venezuelans will come through as
they did for so many years under President
(Hugo) Chavez’s leadership,” Kennedy said
in a statement issued by the nonprofit.
Chavez died last March after a long battle
with cancer. Venezuela, despite having the
world’s largest proven oil reserves, has in
recent years suffered steady production
declines. A spokesman for Venezuela’s
state-owned oil company PDVSA reached
in Caracas told the AP he had no comment.
Citizens Energy says it has distributed
the home heating oil to some 200,000 low-
income and elderly households annually
in 25 states including the entire Northeast,
Alaska and parts of the Midwest. Citizens
launched the program with Venezuela after
Hurricane Katrina in 2005 damaged U.S.
refining capacity and Chavez responded to
an appeal from Kennedy to help out.
O’Connor told the AP that Kennedy, 61,
was recovering from a broken pelvis suf-
fered in a bike accident and was unavailable
for comment.
