Noah talks to Daniel Yergin, President of the Cambridge Energy Research associates, about why people in America are so quick to suspect a conspiracy when oil prices are skyrocketing the way they have been lately. Yergin says proposals to roll back the 4.3 cent gas tax, cries of foul play, and President Clinton's plan to sell oil reserves don't focus on the source of the increase. Yergin is a Pulitzer-Prize winning author for his book, "The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money and Power."
