Venezuela
Beginning in 2005,
Citgo Petroleum Company (Citgo), a wholly owned
subsidiary of
Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) — the
Venezuelan state-owned oil company — has been the primary
donor of heating oil to Citizens Energy.
The Wall Street Journal and others criticized Citizens Energy for continuing its relationship with the
Venezuelan government and
Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, a harsh critic of U.S. President
George W. Bush.
[42] In response, Kennedy and others
[43][44] have argued that it is hypocritical to criticize a non-profit organization for accepting oil from Venezuela while numerous other American businesses are profiting from robust trade with Venezuela and at a time when the U.S. government has cut low-income fuel assistance.

During the last two years, Citgo donated eighty-three million gallons of oil, which was used to provide heating assistance to an estimated 200,000 families a year in twenty-three states.
