Stitt said he also asked Biden to help Oklahomans with the substantial increase in energy bills that will likely be forthcoming through either the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program or another method, and the president said his team is aware of the issue and already working on a solution.“I want to thank President Biden for taking the time to reach out this afternoon and offer the federal government’s help for Oklahomans,” said Stitt. “We had a very productive call and I look forward to working together to find solutions as we recover from this historic storm.”According to the White House, President Biden spoke with governors of states impacted by severe winter weather and relayed to them that he understood the severity of the conditions being felt across the states. Biden said he and the First Lady were praying for swift recovery from the effects of the storm.
