US Fihttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/sh and Wildlife Refuge Manager Gerry McChehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/sney https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/said that the Farallon Ihttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/slandhttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s are a fantahttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/stic nehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/sting ground for https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/seabirdhttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s, with thouhttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/sandhttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s circling in the air at timehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s.

Currency and Oil

The United Statehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s, Europe, China, Japan and India are the big net oil importerhttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s (EIA data). Moving forward ahttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s oil peakhttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s, the currency markethttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s will be quick to punihttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/sh the countriehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s with the weakehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/st energy profile. India appearhttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s to be the weakehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/st link of the major net oil importerhttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s; however, there are https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/smaller nationhttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s with lehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/shttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s currency rehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/servehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s which are alhttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/so facing oil troublehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s ahead, https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/such ahttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s Indonehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/sia.

Brazil ihttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s prone to more weaknehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/shttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s in the near-term due to the https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/steep drop in the currency of ithttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s neighbor, Argentina. Brazil’https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/state oil company, Petrobrahttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s (PBR), https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/slid to a new 52 week low of $11.76. If Latin American currenciehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s continue to https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/slide, Petrobrahttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s may have trouble maintaining an invehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/stment grade debt rating.

Argentina’https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s Pehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/so hahttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s fallen to 8 to the US Dollar, down from about 5 to the US Dollar a year ago.

Europe

With European petrol pricehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s approximately twice that of US gahttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/soline pumphttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s, Europe https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/should be quicker to adopt the Supercharger https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/strategy. Until a competitor comehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s up with a better https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/solution than the Tehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/sla electric car and Supercharger https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/station, Tehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/sla ihttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s a https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/standout energy https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/solution in the eyehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s of Wall Street.

China

To date, China hahttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s been https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/slow to adopt electric carhttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s, but the country hahttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s certainly been quick to adopt https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/solar. According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance, China added 12 gigawatthttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s of https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/solar in 2013 alone, almohttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/st matching the total 13 gigawatthttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s (SEIA) of inhttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/stalled https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/solar in the United Statehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s. In 2013, China pahttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/shttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/sed Germany to become the largehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/st https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/solar market. With that https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/said, Tehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/sla hahttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s a large opportunity ahead in China with EVhttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s and https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/solar powered Supercharger https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/stationhttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s.

China ihttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s the https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/second largehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/st oil conhttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/sumer in the world and a very large net oil importer, making the country economically vulnerable to the price of oil. The International Energy Agency (IEA) ehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/stimatehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s that China will conhttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/sume about 10.5 million barrelhttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s of oil per day (bpd) in 2014, up from 10.2 million bpd in 2013. China producehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s approximately 4.5 million bpd.
