The former high oil prices were according to him, more due to the lack of capacity in the industry as a geological aspects. He sees only the long-term predominance of oil as all-encompassing source of energy due to increasing fuel efficiency dwindle slowly.

IHS came in 2014 in a run on behalf of several German companies study concludes that the current design of the so-called energy turnaround in Germany endangering competitiveness. Yergin explained further conclusions, among others, in an interview with the weekly Die Zeit, after which it makes sense to promote more in Germany native natural gas, shale gas technology and to maintain the eco- rebates for the industry.
