Charlie Rose - Daniel Yergin

Oil and all the ramifications of rising prices continue to be a source of international urgency. Daniel Yergin, one of the leading oil experts in the world, broke down the causes and consequences of the price hike on our broadcast last week. He also spoke about the impact this could have on geopolitics and our national security.

Yergin, mumbo-jumbo Peak Oil denier.

Reality, world moving from cheap and abundant energy supplies to more scarce and more expensive in the face of rising world population.

I'm reading The Prize now, and I like it so far. I love the fact that he has cited so much of his research - there are so many books out there that are not well documented - this one clearly is. But you're both asking him to make forecasts, and it's unrealistic to expect an accurate forecast, from anyone, all of the time. In specific response to Redshift, in early 08 no one was out there yelling about a huge energy price spike and a credit market collapse.

I read "The Prize" and "Commanding Heights" and think Yergin is a great academic when it doesn't involve prognostication. The fact is that Yergin is an embroiled man. He's a part of the problem. I'm not assuming there is some privileged position from which anyone can speak clearly about what's going on. But Yergin's diagnoses are too loaded with his own interests for him to be a candidate for such clarity. I almost feel sorry for him. He's had to sell a bit of his academic soul.

EUROPEANS drive small cars ... small engines FUEL economy plaid a big role in EUROPE for a long TIME ... USA has build a lot of highways ,, YOU have to pay for them ... GAS TAX ... SPEND more gas ..

Yergin is a moron, in early 2008 he was on TV saying that oil would drop down to $65 a barrel by mid way through the year and that there was nothing wrong with the supply and demand side of oil...... I would have to go check it for myself if that idiot told me night was dark, I just don't trust him anymore.

The west needs to invest aggressively in renewable sources of power, we should be putting up wind turbines as fast as we can and every new home should have a solar panel on it by law.

Yes, I think Bush's administration knew about his plain on attacking Iraq.
