Early life and education

Yergin was born to Jewish parents on February 6, 1947, [19] in Los Angeles, California. [20] His father Irving Yergin worked at Warner Brothers and was editor of The Hollywood Reporter and a former journalist in Chicago. [21] His mother Naomi Yergin was a sculptor and painter. [21] He attended Beverly Hills High School. [21] [20] He received his B.A. from Yale University [22] [13] in 1968, [23] [19] where he wrote for the Yale Daily News and was founder of The New Journal [4] in 1967. [23]

He received his M.A. in 1970 [19] and his Ph.D. in international history from Cambridge University, where he was a Marshall Scholar. [23] [22] [15] While at Cambridge, he wrote for various British magazines as well as The Atlantic , [4] where he was a contributing editor, [24] and The New York Times Magazine . [4] He has honorary doctorates from Dartmouth College, [25] Colorado School of Mines, [26] University of Houston, and the University of Missouri. [27]

Career

1970s

Early in his career, Yergin worked as a contributing editor for New York magazine. [21] Through 1980, he was a lecturer at the Harvard Business School and, until 1985, a lecturer at Harvard Kennedy School. [28] [4] Yergin's first book, Shattered Peace: The Origins of the Cold War and the National Security State (1977), [19] was partly based upon his doctoral dissertation and focused on the origins of the Cold War. [4]

In the mid-1970s, [29] while a post-doctoral fellow, [30] he began to take a particular interest in energy in his writing. [23] Basing the book on four years of research, with Robert B. Stobaugh he co-authored and co-edited Energy Future: The Report of the Energy Project at the Harvard Business School in 1979. [29] According to the Los Angeles Times , the book "caused a considerable stir with its optimistic view of the possibilities of energy conservation and such alternative sources as solar power." [21] It proved to be a The New York Times bestseller, [29] ultimately selling 300,000 copies in six languages. [4]

Within its first year of release, Yergin and Stobaugh were called to Washington, D.C. several times to testify before Congressional committees. [29] He also advised James Schlesinger, the first US energy secretary, around the time of the Iranian revolution. According to Reuters , "since then he has given advice to every administration." [3]

1980s–1990s

He founded Cambridge Energy Research Associates (CERA) with Jamey Rosenfield in 1982 [12] [3] with the purchase of a $2 file cabinet from The Salvation Army. [21] [28] [4] With Yergin as president, [4] [31] the energy research and consulting firm was created as a "quasi think-tank and source of energy industry analysis." [21]

Yergin is arguably best known for his fourth book, [12] The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money, and Power (1991). [4] It became a number-one bestseller that won the Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction in 1992 and the Eccles Prize for the best book on economics for a general audience, [31] selling around 700,000 copies [4] in 17 languages. [32] The book was adapted into a PBS/BBC series [13] seen by around 100 million viewers both domestically and internationally, [4] [21] with Yergin as the principal storyteller. [33] His next book was Russia 2010 and What It Means for the World (1993), written with Thane Gustafson, which provided scenarios for the development of Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union. [34]

2000s–2010s

His 2002 book The Commanding Heights: The Battle for the World Economy, [13] written with Joseph Stanislaw, described in narrative form the struggle over the "frontier" between governments and markets and the rise of globalization. [4] In the "first major PBS series on business in more than a decade," [21] he led the team that created an Emmy-winning six-hour [35] [14] PBS/BBC television series based on the book, [13] serving as executive producer and co-writer [36] and interviewing individuals such as Bill Clinton, Dick Cheney, Vicente Fox, and Mikhail Gorbachev. [37]

[38] Described as a sequel to his book The Prize, Yergin's The Quest: Energy, Security, and the Remaking of the Modern World (2011) continued his history of the global oil industry but also addressed energy security, natural gas, electric power, climate change and the search for renewable sources of energy. [5] Like his previous books, it was drafted in long-hand. [12] In 2011 it was shortlisted for the Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award. [39]

[48]

In a 2011 essay published in The Wall Street Journal, Yergin criticized predictions of imminent peak oil. Instead of a peak, Yergin predicted that future oil production would plateau as increasing prices moderate demand and stimulate production. [49] [43] He also addressed peak oil in a chapter in The Quest entitled "Is the World Running Out of Oil?" [50]

In 2019, Yergin and former U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz led a major 229-page study, Advancing the Landscape of Clean Energy Innovation, [51] which was conducted by IHS Markit and Energy Futures Initiative for the Breakthrough Energy coalition, led by Bill Gates. The study identified ten areas for transformational energy breakthroughs. Axios quoted Yergin, "The purpose of the report is to provide a framework and a guide to people who want to invest in clean energy innovation." [52]

Yergin chaired IHS Markit's study on "Reinventing the Wheel," which focused on changing transportation methods, the role of electric vehicles, and the timing of peak oil demand. [53]

Memberships and directorships

Yergin is the current vice chairman of S&P Global, appointed during the company's merger with IHS Markit. [2] He became the vice chairman of IHS in 2012 and remained vice chairman when IHS merged with Markit in 2016. [1] [54] [22] He is also chairman of S&P's annual CERAWeek energy conference. [18] [16] [55]

[14] He is a trustee of the Brookings Institution, [13] [15] where he chairs the energy security roundtable. [56] He is currently a director on the Council on Foreign Relations, [13] United States Energy Association, and the U.S.-Russia Business Council.

He serves on the National Petroleum Council, which advises the U.S. Secretary of Energy. [13] [14] He is on the advisory boards of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Energy Initiative, [13] the Columbia University Center on Global Energy Policy, and Singapore's International Energy Advisory Panel. [15] Yergin has been a member of the Secretary of Energy Advisory Board under presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump. [57] [58] In December 2016 Yergin joined a business forum composed primarily of CEOs assembled to provide strategic and policy advice on economic issues to President Donald Trump. [17] The forum was disbanded in August 2017. [59]

Awards

Yergin was awarded the 1997 [60] United States Energy Award for "lifelong achievements in energy and the promotion of international understanding." [15] The International Association for Energy Economics gave Dr. Yergin its 2012 award for "outstanding contributions to the profession of energy economics and to its literature." [61] In 2014 the Prime Minister of India presented Yergin [15] [3] with a Lifetime Achievement Award, [22] [13] and in 2015 the University of Pennsylvania presented him with the first Carnot Prize for "distinguished contributions to energy policy." [13] The U.S. Department of Energy awarded him the first James Schlesinger Medal for Energy Security in 2014. [3]
