What is the best single, comprehensive introduction to the science of sustainable energy?
The recent book by David MacKay, “Sustainable Energy – without the hot air”. It’s available for free download here: www.withouthotair.com Of course, it has limitations. Most notably, MacKay didn’t know about WindFuels, and the book is somewhat focused on what he thinks will work best for the UK. There are a few other minor problems, especially when it comes to some of the economics, but overall, it’s sound, accessible, and comprehensive.
