About
An automated reading list for one question: what is happening to American energy policy, and what is happening to the price of a barrel?
What this is
A single page that collects reporting on U.S. energy policy and the oil market from ten independent newsrooms and two government sources, refreshed every fifteen minutes.
How stories are selected
Selection is automated, not editorial. Items are pulled from public RSS feeds and kept when they match energy terms; those that also touch federal policy are routed to the Policy lane. No item is written, rewritten or ranked by hand.
What we do not do
We publish no original reporting, take no political position, host no advertising, run no trackers, and copy no article text or imagery. Every link leaves the site.
Who runs it
