Ed Herman at the University of Buffalo has compiled a resource guide to energy information and data (2007). His references are nearly all governmental. There are descriptions and links to the full texts. There are links to resources on legislation, policy, technical literature, and statistics. He includes sections on New York State and international resources.
This resource was found via the ResourceShelf No. 366. It is one of many resources available via the wiki created by the Government Documents Roundtable of the ALA (American Library Association).

I dont really understand the term resource shelf, where can I find more info on US energy alternatives, I am writing an article about it for my magazine (http://www.theog.org) and need some viable information from american resources.
Thanks
Resource Shelf is a website, a resource library of other websites and documents.
If you click on the text "resource guide to energy information" you will go here:
http://ublib.buffalo.edu/libraries/asl/guides/busdoc/energy.html...and see lots of sources of U.S. energy info.
(I was led to this site by the contributors to Resource Shelf.)
Thanks!
