A leading expert on energy policy, Daniel Yergin joins us to discuss his book, “The Quest: Energy, Security, and the Remaking of the Modern World.” Yergin looks at the recent history of the energy industry, emerging renewable technologies and the notion of “peak oil,” which posits that we are rapidly approaching the end of Earth’s easily accessible oil supply.
Yergin won the Pulitzer Prize for his work “The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money and Power.”
