The Libertas Energy Initiative European Energy Innovation Fund Context The most recent OPEC meeting in Riyadh heard demands from Venezualan President Hugo Chavez and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to use its position for political ends and considered proposals to stop trading oil in the US dollar in response to the currency’s slide on international markets and to sell dollar currency reserves in favour of the euro and other baskets of currencies. Were this to happen, inflationary and interest rate pressure in the Eurozone would further dent already sluggish growth and, taken together with significantly higher oil prices could well spark a worldwide recession. This slide demonstrates graphically how weak Europe is in the face of such geopolitical power based on our over-dependence on oil.  Click here to enlarge the above slide. |
