I have a degree in Physics and have just finished studying the OU course T206 "Energy for a sustainable future" as part of an Environmental Sciences degree, so I am reasonably confident that I haven't been conned by any "men in suits" - more like I believe the opinions of the men with beards and sandals and the science behind sustainable energy.
On another note - to Buzzy, I find that Wikipedia is a great source to start with. It's usually pretty well written and mostly objective and factual - occasionally it can be inaccurate or opinionated, but that gets fixed reasonably quickly.
Some of the best of it are the links to research papers.
