Crude supply trends outside the United States (red areas below) are key to future
oil market balance: geopolitical developments, exporter decisions, and the timing
and magnitude of supply effects stemming from reduced investment all matter

• Incorporation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s final rules for the Clean
Power Plan
• Updated renewable capital costs
• Latest California zero-emission vehicle sales mandates, which have been adopted by a
number of other states
• Extension of the production tax credit for wind and 30% investment tax credit for solar
