Venezuela's pitch to investors

Last week, at a time when the war with Iran has been roiling global energy markets, executives from energy companies all over the world gathered for CERAWeek, the “Super Bowl” of energy conferences. But as Marketplace’s Elizabeth Trovall tells us, conflict in the Middle East wasn’t the only hot topic there. Trovall joins Kimberly to discuss how the energy sector is confronting a wide range of disruptions, from geopolitics to technology.

Here’s everything we talked about today:

• "At "Super Bowl of the energy industry," war in the Middle East is the hot topic" from Marketplace
• "Gas prices eclipse $4 a gallon in the US, the highest since 2022" from AP News
• "How Blocking Oil and Gas From Leaving the Strait of Hormuz Ripples Around the World" from The New York Times
• "Venezuela oil production has reached 1.1 mln bpd in March" from Reuters
• "Energy demand from AI " from the International Energy Agency
