Daniel Yergin is one of the most highly respected and influential authorities in the world on energy, international politics and economics. He is a recipient of the United States Energy Award for 'lifelong achievements in energy and the promotion of international understanding'. Dr. Yergin received the Pulitzer for The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money and Power, which became a number one bestseller and was made into an eight-hour PBS/BBC series seen by millions of people around the world. He is chairman of IHS Cambridge Energy Research Associates, the leading research and consulting firm in its field. He serves as CNBC's Global Energy Expert.
In this gripping account of the quest for the energy that our world needs, Daniel Yergin continues the riveting story begun in his Pulitzer Prize-winning book, The Prize . A master storyteller as well as a leading energy expert, Yergin shows us how energy is an engine of global political and economic change. It is a story that spans the energies on which our civilization has been built and the new energies that are competing to replace them. From the jammed streets of Beijing to the shores of the Caspian Sea, from the conflicts in the Mideast to Capitol Hill and Silicon Valley, Yergin takes us into the decisions that are shaping our future. The drama of oil-the struggle for access, the battle for control, the insecurity of supply, the consequences of use, its impact on the global economy, and the geopolitics that dominate it-continues to profoundly affect our world.. Yergin tells the inside stories of the oil market and the surge in oil prices, the race to control the resources of the former Soviet empire, and the massive mergers that transformed the landscape of world oil. He tackles the toughest questions: Will we run out of oil? Are China and the United States destined to come into conflict over oil? How will a turbulent Middle East affect the future of oil supply? Yergin also reveals the surprising and sometimes tumultuous history of nuclear and coal, electricity, and the "shale gale" of natural gas, and how each fits into the larger marketplace. He brings climate change into unique perspective by offering an unprecedented history of how the field of climate study went from the concern of a handful of nineteenth- century scientists preoccupied with a new Ice Age into one of the most significant issues of our times. He leads us through the rebirth of renewable energies and explores the distinctive stories of wind, solar, and biofuels. He offers a perspective on the return of the electric car, which some are betting will be necessary for a growing global economy. The Quest presents an extraordinary range of characters and dramatic stories that illustrate the principles that will shape a robust and flexible energy security system for the decades to come. Energy is humbling in its scope, but our future requires that we deeply understand this global quest that is truly reshaping our world.

評分華盛頓郵報1998年對Yergin的采訪,大部分篇幅講述瞭他怎樣從一個曆史學者成為能源政策分析權威 Daniel Yergin should be the easiest guy in the world to hate. It's not enough that he's smart (Yale BA, Cambridge PhD, Harvard post-doc), rich (his business grosses $ ...
評分The central idea of the book is energy can be leveraged to impact global economy, and thus the importance of energy security can never be overstated. The author, Daniel Yergin, touches almost every branch of energy to make his ideas balanced and unbiased. ...

真的實在是太長太浩瀚瞭
評分從14年在華府見Dan,到如今斷斷續續讀瞭三年多。挑幾個重點。一,尋租國傢易得荷蘭病,現金流入短期增加財富推高匯率,影響齣口和其他貿易産業,可建立主權財富基金避免短期富裕;另易造成財政僵化,能源價格高漲時增加政府支齣,能源價格下跌造成赤字,要不就是印貨幣導緻通脹變嚮收稅,要不就是國際藉貸造成債務危機。90年代油企整閤潮,一則提供瞭上遊資源,增加效率,攤鋪降低固定成本;二則提供更多項目,對衝地域政治風險;三則因項目本身規模變大;四則能夠將技術和科技應用於更廣闊的範疇;五則增加議價能力,減少交易摩擦成本。可以對比油價08年高企之後的“離婚”潮。天然氣原在美國稀缺,由於偏執狂喬治米歇爾掀起頁岩革命而 成本驟降,本土頁岩氣能用一個世紀多,並顛覆瞭原有的LNG至上觀念,而卡塔爾和澳洲利益受損。
評分普及瞭對能源方麵的知識,對能源對這個世界的影響大吃一驚,工業革命之後的世界曆史,差不多就是爭奪石油資源的曆史。
評分世界變化太快,很多內容已經跟不上瞭。真是讓我感嘆
評分Read and donated^^
