Profit from the Peak: The End of Oil and the Greatest Investment Event of the Century (Angel Series)
by Brian Hicks

While this book is outwardly about what stocks to buy to profit from peak oil, it actually a very good primer on peak oil, peak fuels in general and renewable energy. The authors also do a good job of explaining why a hydrogen economy will never happen, why tar sands and oil shale will never produce enough to make much of a difference and why conservation is a necessity. So even if you aren't interested in the investment aspect of this book, I would still highly recommend reading it for the knowledge you will gain about these subjects.
