If Tony Juniper, former Executive Director of Friends of the Earth says "For anyone with influence on energy policy, whether in government, business or a campaign group, this book should be compulsory reading", and Robert Sansom of EDF Energy says "At last a book that comprehensively reveals the true facts about sustainable energy in a form that is both highly readable and entertaining", then the book is probably hitting the nail on the head. David JC MacKay's is a Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Cambridge [and, from September 2009, Chief Scientific Advisor to the Department of Energy and Climate Change], and his book is available for purchase or for free download. There is also a podcast from a one-hour talk MacKay gave at the Cambridge Science Festival, on 12 March 2008, for which you can also access a reasonably matching set of slides, in HTML format.
