I hardly doubt you could mow your lawn enough to produce anything substantial. If it has been projected that we could turn most if not all of the available farmland in the US into corn production for ethanol & it wouldn't even produce close to 50% of our use. The only way this could work is if we clear cut the forests coast to coast and anything green in between.

The point is that any of these other sources could never be produced in the quantities needed. Could never be produced without impacting our food source or water sources. There would have to be so many different types that if you think the different blends of gasoline per state is bad & impacting cost, how would adding all these different sources be because just one couldn't supply enough.

Another point is that all these impact our environment withing the first phase of production, the source. Plants, organics that must be grown, cut, harvested. On the other hand oil is buried in the ground, can be taken from rocks, the immediate impact is if anything visual. The only world commercially available power sources are oil or electric based off of nuclear power, hydro power, coal. Using organic means will have a bigger impact on life on this planet. All living things will be competing for their basic needs v.s. our need for power.
