The Quest: Energy, Security, and the Remaking of the Modern World looks like a great read! Possibly a follow-up to his book The Prize.
Consuming Power: A Social History of American Energies looks good as well! David Nye has written quite a few books... He seems like an interesting guy.
What exactly are you trying to learn? The process? The politics? Do you have a certain renewable in mind (solar, wind, hydro, geothermal?) Are you most interested in electrical generation technologies? Or moreso passive technology like water heating? I mean, there's alot to it... I have multiple degrees in renewables so just let me know what you want to know and I can point you in the direction.

^if you're looking for a good book to start with maybe this would be good.
If you're interested in learning a bit about the technical side of renewable energy and the electric power grid, Renewable and Efficient Electric Power Systems by Stanford professor Gil Masters and Electric Power Systems: A Conceptual Introduction by UC Berkeley professor Sascha von Meier are great resources.
I bought this book for a dollar at a library sale. Find it and you'll have every engineering idea you could want for solar-collectors and solar-passive heating setups. This is an excellent engineering/academic treatise on everything from efficiency to expected power output. I wouldn't pay $190 for it though, do some looking around and you can get it cheap.
Here's the ISBN: 0-07-035473-1
