reserves

The countries with the greatest oil reserves, exposed in this graphic with a sad protagonist: Venezuela

by

Humanity is still tied to oil. Although the rise of renewable energies He pointed to one revolutionrecently we have seen that, when things get ugly and We need energy peaksone has to Pull fossil fuels again. The oil companies themselves who got into the renewable car They unchecked a few months agoand that is why it is interesting to know What countries have that oil. And it is something that is illustrated perfectly in this graph. The rich. Prepared by Visual Capitalist With data from the EIAin it the production is not shown, but the reserves. They are two very different things and will make sense immediately. Before that, Venezuela’s reserves are imposing, with 303,000 million certified barrels. Secondly, Saudi Arabia with 267,000 million and, in third place, an Iran in which oil has been the protagonist in recent weeks due to the confrontation with Israel. A lot of distance from Venezuela we have Canada, Iraq, Eau, Kuwait, Russia, the United States or Libya. And, of these last names, the two American countries are those that are separated in the graph because they are not part of the OPEC. OPEC+ and the monopoly. In 1960, five heavy pesos on that list (Venezuela, Iran, Kuwait, Saudi IRK and Rabia formed the organization of oil export countries, OPEC. Its objective was to coordinate and unify oil policies to maintain stable prices, ensure supply and, above all, protect your interests. Over time other countries were added, forming the well -known OPEC+ (which has its own internal cohesion problems. Together, member countries concentrate about 80% of global oil reserves, but although Venezuela has imposing reserves, its production does not go to par due to political blockages and limitations. At its peak, they produced three million barrels per day. Today they are the twenty -first producing country with 770,000 barrels per day, behind countries with much lower reserves. One of the wells that China is operating China wants to sign up for the list. At the top, the United States, Saudi Russia and Arabia lead the ranking with 8-12 million barrels per day, but although it does not appear in the graph, there is a country that we should take into account: China. Currently, the Asian giant is the Greater World Oil Importerbut in recent years it has increased significantly Its internal production. Thanks to pharaonic works that include some of the deepest wells carried out by humanityin March of this year they got a record of 4.6 million barrels per day. It was the highest point in the history of the country and, although inequality was very high between production and import, apart from continuing excavating they have been made with record reserves in recent years. It is calculated that They tell With more than 1,180 million stored barrels that would shield them, for a while, of any cutting in the supply. The United States, for example, also has a reserve to respond to crises and the sources vary, but the updated figures point to about 400 million barrels. Pure and hard strategy. Beyond the obvious importance of oil on the economy of a producing country, we have the Strategic Facet. As oil continues moving the worldhaving large reservations allows countries to exercise their influence on international politics. As? Coordinating production to influence prices and economyFor example. And we have also seen how oil has been a protagonist agent in armed conflicts. The invasion of Iraq, for example, or the war between Iran and Israel that, without affecting the flow of crude oil, already caused that The market will panic.

Xiaomi was not enough to destroy the reserves of his electric Berlina. Now we know that, too, he is the king of resale

by

Xiaomi is achieving the unthinkable with his electric car: compete with the main ones with the great manufacturers of the sector with vehicles that have just a year of life. He Su7 razed reservationshe Yu7 He is doing even better and, in case this success in sales was not enough. But the Electric Berlina He is not demonstrating his muscle only in reserves and sales. He is showing it a posteriori. The data. Xiaomi cars preserve almost 90% of their resale value. Next to nothing. According to the last report of China Automobile Dealers Association (each) in which, among others, the resale value of the main electric cars in the market is published after a year, the undisputed leader is the Xiaomi Su7. The company’s electrical bellina retains up to 88.91% in its resale value, followed by the Aito M9 with 84.45% and a Li Mega (Li Auto) that collapses to 79.58%. What about Tesla. The Tesla Model x and Model 3 They occupy the fourth and fifth position, with 77.81% and 76.04%, respectively. The best selling SUV of China does not run the same fate: the Tesla Model and. The Electric de Tesla occupies the 11th position on the list, lowering to 71.28%. Below, Byd and Xpeng models. Because. There are several key points for the Xiaomi Su7 to become an object of worship even after a year of use. Long delivery times and limited calendar Clear attack focus not only for Model 3, but more premium models In just one year, he has managed to offer a feeling of quality and confidence to the Chinese consumer The initial success was such that There were those who were reversing the used car A for Tesla. The Xiaomi Su7 has already achieved Overcome Sales to its main rival: The Tesla Model 3. A first model that reaped successes and opened an even bigger door: that of going to each of the Model and with the Yu7. Data on resale value can further push interest in an Xiaomi that aims to take the market with Your ecosystem productsin which the car plays a central role. It’s just the beginning. Xiaomi’s rivals should not worry only about SU7 and Yu7: the worrying thing is all that is to come. The company works to create its own chipshe is demonstrating engineering knowledge superior to those of their rivalsand just throw the doubt when it will end up arriving in Europe to take part in the cake.

Nintendo has just postponed the Switch 2 reserves in the US. Tariffs begin to take effect on the gaming world

by

Nintendo prepares the ground for A new earthquake in the video game industry. The Nintendo Switch 2long expected by the followers of the brand, promises to renew his hybrid proposal with ambition. The expectation soon translated into a movement: while the presentation was developed, the official website activated a waiting list to access. But Nintendo has decided to slightly lift the accelerator foot in the United States. The Japanese company He has postponed The beginning of the reserves of its new star product in that country. The reason? Tariffs driven from the White House, which begin to leave their first visible mark on an industry that seems to be directly exposed. No date to book in the US. As usual in Nintendo, its new devices cannot be reserved the same day they are announced. Reservations are activated days later and shipments take a little longer. This time, April 9 was the date marked in the calendar of users in the United States, but they will have to eliminate it because it is simply no longer valid. As Nintendo has pointed out In a statement issued to Polygonthis movement is because they need to “evaluate the potential impact of tariffs and changing market conditions.” We are facing a movement that prints some uncertainty about the expected launch, but not everything is such discouraging news. The shipping date is maintained. Although Nintendo will take time to evaluate the impact of new tariffs on the United States, and will later announce the new date to reserve the Nintendo Switch 2shipments are still planned for June 5. With that horizon in mind, the margin to open the reserves is not too broad. For now, it only remains to wait for Nintendo to announce the new reservations for the US market. It should be remembered that this measure affects only the United States. In the rest of the markets, everything follows as planned. In Spain, for example, reservations will begin on April 8. The context that explains it. Just over 48 hours have passed since Donald Trump will announce the “reciprocal tariffs.” The measure extends to dozens of countries, with 24 % tariffs for Japan and 46 % for Vietnam, where Nintendo has transferred part of the hardware and component production. View price increase. Tariffs, As explained by Tax Foundationthey function as taxes applied to imports. In practice, this additional cost is rarely assumed by companies: it ends up impacting directly on the consumer pocket. Impact on Nintendo and other companies. Tariffs promise to leave their mark on the technological sector, especially among companies that manufacture outside the United States. The case does not affect Nintendo only: giants like Apple also face a complex scenariodespite having diversified its production to dodge these barriers.

Nintendo has a fantastic idea to avoid speculation with the reserves of the Switch 2: that you are a fan

by

After waiting, maybe, too much, yesterday was finally presented Nintendo Switch 2. We already have All the details from the new Nintendo hybrid console, but the funny thing is that just after the event, The hangover began. It is when we met the price of the console and the significant price increase of the games, the controversies’Game key cardsand his Retrocompatibility. The other big question was where and when you could book Nintendo Switch 2. And the answer is that Nintendo opens a fairly restrictive invitation system (and that makes sense half). Switch 2 by invitation. The launch of Nintendo Switch 2 will occur on June 5. We do not know if the dantesque situation of the first switch will be repeated, With stock breakage every two by three Because Nintendo did not supply and, just in case, the Japanese confirmed in their online store that can be reserved from April 8. However, that reservation will not be as simple as clicking on the corresponding button and expect to get to us. As says the company itself, “initially only the subscribers of Nintendo switch online that they receive an invitation will have the opportunity to book the Nintendo Switch 2 console in My Nintendo Store. “And it has a lot, but that a lot of small print. Requirements … curious. Nintendo does not invent anything with this system that we have already seen in many other products. The mobiles of the first years of OnePlus are the clearest example, but there are a number of conditions that we must meet if we want to reserve a Switch 2 on the company’s website. We must demonstrate that we are “fans”, so to speak, fulfilling the following: Be subscribed to Nintendo Switch online before March 31, 2025. Therefore, if you subscribe now, you don’t care. Having spent some time playing switch titles that have bought. Priority will be given to those who have accumulated a longer game time. Share use information with Nintendo. Have agreed to share information with Nintendo and receive offers. Have agreed to receive emails and advertising messages from Nintendo and not have withdrawn the consent on the day the invitation is invited. More small print. It is … too much, with some questionable points such as, above all, the last one, but even the small print has even smaller lyrics. For example, if you meet all that, but you have an online family account of which you are not the main holder, you will not be considered for the invitation. “In the case of family subscriptions, only the person who has bought the subscription will be taken into account for the invitation. The rest of the members of the family subscription will not qualify for the invitation process,” says the company. Antibots system. They are too restrictive, but they also comment that “it is possible that the selection criteria relax” later, but that they do so to give “priority to the most enthusiastic players of Nintendo Switch“. And, in a way, although it is something that we can raise an eyebrow, it makes sense to combat a scourge in the world of video games (which often foster the companies with stock too low): the bots and the resale. If you are in the world of video games, you will know that every time something limited comes out, it is usually exhausted in seconds and, almost instantly, they appear in stores like Wallapop with inflated prices. We saw it very recently with the PS5 30 anniversary edition, and it is something that has also been seen a lot with elements of Nintendo itself. With this system, the problem of user bots that tracks the web accumulating reservations to resell the product is removed. It makes sense, but. The lagoon of this system is that Nintendo Switch 2 is available to book … almost in any trade. You can reserve it in Amazonbut also in stores like Game or Mediamarkt. In Xtralife they are pending Open reservations And in Fnac you can reserve the same packs as in the rest of the shops: the basic and the one that carries’Mario Kart World‘. Therefore, although Nintendo wants to “reward fans” for Nintendo Switch 2 reserves, it is still a machine that, logically, is now available in almost any video game trade and should not be waiting for April 8 to reserve it. What is not known is what will happen once the reserves are exhausted and if we will return to the situation of the first months of Switch.
