Who Are The Billionaires Who Could Profit From Venezuelan Oil

In this episode of Beyond the Billions, Forbes Deputy Editor Giacomo Tognini speaks with Senior Editor Chris Helman about the state of America’s energy industry. Helman reveals why the current situation in Venezuela is the most exciting time for "wildcatters" since the fall of Saddam Hussein. They dive into the high-stakes financial battle for Citgo involving Wall Street billionaire Paul Singer, and explain why legendary driller Harold Hamm is shutting down American rigs to hunt for oil in unexpected places like Turkey and Argentina. And with the reemergence of needs for nuclear power, they’ll talk about how "RV-sized" reactors could be the secret to powering the next generation of AI data centers.
