This cleverly-titled book gets very technical. However, I think that the average Mobilereader could pick through it and get a lot of information from it.

Title: Sustainable Energy--Without the Hot Air.
Format: Pdf.
Author(s): David JC MacKay.
Publisher: UIT Cambridge.
Pages: About 375.
Ebook Rating/Number of Reviews (Amazon): 4.7 (74).
Price: $0.00.
Lowest Price at Amazon if available there: $8.97 (Used, Paperback, "Very Good"); the Kindle mobi is $28.00.
Book Description (Amazon):
Addressing the sustainable energy crisis in an objective manner, this enlightening book analyzes the relevant numbers and organizes a plan for change on both a personal level and an international scale—for Europe, the United States, and the world. In case study format, this informative reference answers questions surrounding nuclear energy, the potential of sustainable fossil fuels, and the possibilities of sharing renewable power with foreign countries. While underlining the difficulty of minimizing consumption, the tone remains positive as it debunks misinformation and clearly explains the calculations of expenditure per person to encourage people to make individual changes that will benefit the world at large.

I found the links below at www.withouthotair.com, after seeing several statements, on other web sites, offering the book free at that website. The server for the domain where the book is posted is set up by the author (see http://www.inference.eng.cam.ac.uk/). Therefore, I believe that the book is a legal free download.
