In 2010, Bareiß worked to limit the growth in solar-panel installations in Germany as he saw the rising costs to consumers undermine the acceptance of alternative energy.

Amid a 2014 debate over whether Germany needs to rethink its energy strategy and reduce its dependence on Russian gas imports due to the Ukrainian crisis, Bareiß spoke out in favor of liquefied natural gas (Liquefied Natural Gas) imports and demanded an effective regulatory framework for a German Liquefied Natural Gas terminal.
