    Alcohol for example . You could also run your car on natural gas (I mean LPG...yes, I know that it is fossil fuel too). Normal combustion engines can easily be converted to use natural gas.

    So there are alternatives, there is just no infrastructure.

    Um.. That's relatively more productive. See how much more active the Amazon area is? Now, that blue ring southeast of it is not a desert, it is merely covered with trees and grass similar to what you'd imagine the Iowa farmland to be (yes, the color of Minas Gerais and Iowa are similar). The purple is less active, like the grasslands of Wyoming (indeed, the "northeast Brazil" area is known for its dry land and ranchers, as are the pampas further south).

    The forests along the east coast of the USA include those on the minor mountains of the Appalatian range -- a difficult area to farm. Also in there are the Smoky Mountains, named because often there is a haze due to the volatile chemicals (terpenes) released by the forest there.

    As I was reading this item, I remembered something about alcohol run engines. Heres a link about this technology being used in Brazil ever since the 1920s. In India theyre running experiments right now. Overall this seams a feasible technology. If you want te know more just google a bit and youll find lots of information.
