Venezuela’s rulers have deployed armed militias to patrol streets, operate checkpoints and check people’s phones in a crackdown to consolidate authority after the US attack on Caracas. Paramilitary groups known as colectivos criss-crossed the capital with motorbikes and assault rifles on Tuesday in a show of force to stifle any dissent or perception of a power vacuum. The patrols stopped and searched cars and demanded access to people’s phones to check their contacts, messages and social media posts in a stark demonstration to the population that the regime remained in charge despite the abduction of president Nicolás Maduro. Anyone who was suspected of supporting Saturday’s US raid was liable for arrest, said Mirelvis Escalona, 40, a resident in the western Caracas neighbourhood of Catia. “There’s fear. There are armed civilians here. You never know what might happen, they might attack people.” View image in fullscreen A member of colectivos takes part in a march calling for the release of Maduro. Photograph: Gaby Oráa/Reuters A semblance of normality returned to much of the city, with shops and bakeries reopening and people going to work – but uncertainty over what will happen next created a febrile mood. The interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, has sought to project a sense of calm and control since being sworn in on Monday but there was no disguising the government’s shock and jitteriness. In addition to the humiliation of Maduro’s appearance in a New York court on narco-trafficking charges, the authorities face the risk of a fresh US attack, economic collapse, internal regime fracture and the return of overseas-based opposition leaders. Gunfire erupted on Monday night when security forces shot at unauthorised drones which reportedly were mistaken for another US operation. “There was no confrontation, the entire country remains completely calm,” Simon Arrechider, the deputy information minister, told reporters. But it is a tense calm. On Monday at least 14 journa...

Venezuelan oil production is at risk of severe decline within weeks as storage tanks approach full capacity and many ships steer clear of Caribbean waters to avoid a US naval blockade, according to maritime intelligence firm Kpler Ltd. Daily oil output in the South American nation could slump to 600,000 barrels by next month if the blockade persists, Kpler said Tuesday. That would compare with an average of 1 million barrels as recently as November. The blockade imposed by US President Donald Trump has disrupted the arrival of the so-called dark fleet of vessels that Venezuela has relied on to transport crude to Asia. US military forces already have seized two ships and are in pursuit of a third tanker, the Marinera, also known as Bella 1, CBS News reported. Read More: Phillips 66 CEO Says Change in Venezuela a Boon to Oil Refiners Venezuela is running out of onshore storage capacity to hold barrels that otherwise would have been exported. Kpler estimates that state oil company Petroleos de Venezuela SA’s 15 million-barrel “storage buffer” can absorb roughly 50 days of backed-up exports. If PDVSA cannot find ships in which to stow crude, it may have no option but to begin shutting wells, according to Kpler. The blockade also is hindering deliveries of Russian naphtha that PDVSA needs to dilute tar-like heavy crude so that it is suitable for processing by refiners. Read More: Venezuela Oil Output Slows 25% in Orinoco Belt Under US Pressure Despite the potential near-term production decline, Kpler expects significant upside potential for Venezuelan crude production pending a transition to a new government and a deal with the US. Output could grow to just shy of 2 million barrels a day by the end of 2028, the firm projects. So far, only Chevron Corp. is permitted to produce and export Venezuelan oil under a license from the US Treasury. The supermajor continues to export crude to the US under the terms of that license.

Key Points NuScale's small modular reactor could bring nuclear power generation to localized applications. The company must overcome nuclear energy's tainted reputation and numerous regulatory hurdles. Its stock price may currently reflect much of the company's realistic near-term potential. 10 stocks we like better than NuScale Power › According to the IEA's 2025 Global Energy Review, global energy consumption rose faster than its historical average in 2024. The rapid rise of artificial intelligence and the resulting surge in data center development are big reasons why. These surging energy needs have helped revive interest in nuclear energy. While nuclear power isn't new, it does have some innovative developments, including small modular reactors (SMRs), which have smaller footprints and greater flexibility than traditional nuclear reactors. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » NuScale Power (NYSE: SMR) has designed the first and only small modular reactor to receive approval from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. It opens up a potential opportunity, as experts estimate that renewed interest will drive a 50% increase in global nuclear energy capacity by 2050. Can buying the stock today set you up for life? Here is what you need to know. NuScale offers nuclear energy in a smaller, more flexible package Nuclear power generation involves using a fission reaction to generate heat, which in turn creates steam that turns turbines. Nuclear power plants aren't new, but they have a somewhat tarnished reputation. Nuclear energy is clean and efficient, but it can be catastrophic when things go wrong with the reactor -- the infamous Chernobyl disaster of 1986 comes to mind. However, artificial intelligence has helped create such a dire need for energy that nuclear energy is back in the spotlight as a potential solution. NuScale Power's small modular reactor has a far smalle...

The sudden rush of interest to invest in Venezuela after the removal of Nicolas Maduro is “ridiculous” and no meaningful opportunities will arise until the restoration of democracy and rule of law, according to the chief executive officer of CV Advisors. “Everybody and their mother is calling their financial advisor, is calling their family office on ‘where do we invest? How do we take advantage of this? You’re from Venezuela, can you look for assets there?’” Elliot Dornbusch said in an interview. “I’m like, are you nuts?” The US government’s removal of Maduro and vow to work with remaining elements of the Venezuelan regime while promoting investments into the oil industry won’t work or help usher in more prosperity for the country, Dornbusch wrote in a letter to his investors seen by Bloomberg on Tuesday. “Political transition must come first,” he wrote. Dornbusch was raised in Venezuela and studied economics, including the oil industry, before starting a construction company. He left in 2003 under Hugo Chavez after he overhauled state energy company Petroleos de Venezuela SA and has lived in the US since, founding CV Advisors in 2009. The firm, based in Aventura, Florida, works with 135 families and institutions and manages $15 billion of assets. “The crisis at Venezuela’s core is deep and systemic. It cannot be resolved by simply removing a single leader or toppling one regime figure,” he wrote. “Expecting transformational change while leaving in place the thousands who enabled, benefited from, and sustained this corruption is unrealistic.” Since the shocking detention of Maduro and his wife from a military base in Caracas early Saturday, the Trump administration has vowed to work with acting president Delcy Rodriguez — who was VP under Maduro — to kick start the country’s crippled oil industry and tap into the world’s biggest reserves. That’s prompted questions about how to potentially invest into the geopolitical change from defaulted bonds to potential private...
