This topic fits naturally with electric vehicles, and it comes up regularly on the forum. I've just read a very good book on the subject
"Sustainable Energy - without the hot air" by David Mackay
Not only does it have a good, impartial analysis of the science, but it is also packed with the numbers and statistics so will make a very useful reference source. I posted this on the UK Pedelecs site, and I'll post it here, but with a little trepidation. The author writes from a European perspective and doesn't draw back from pointing out that US energy consumption is a little higher.
The author has gone so far to put the whole book on a website, where it may be read or downloaded for free. http://www.withouthotair.com/
