Alden Page http://www.boldlygo.org/593 If you’re curious about current energy consumption, production, and the ins and outs of alternative solutions then this is the website for you. This site is an online version of the textbook, Sustainable Energy Without the Hot Air. The author, David JC MacKay, tries to arrive at all conclusions based on cited calculations rather than just stating opinions, and he does a very good job of walking you through these calculations. The articles are organized, fun to read, and are aimed at a level that your average highschooler could understand. The book is geared towards British readers, but tends to apply to any nationality.

Some Highlights:
