Cellulosic ethanol is one way to get away from the arable land issue.
Other options mostly depend on what resources you have available. I for one am just dumbfounded that desert areas like Vegas use so little solar power, that Great Plains and coastal areas have so few windmills (you can graze cattle under them fer cryin' out loud). Some communities are setting up plasma power converters for their garbage disposal, so if all you've got is a bunch of trash...
And there are actually electric cars in production now. We have a dealership about an hour up the road. They're actually rather spacious, not at all the econoboxes I thought they would be--sort of boxy, like a Subaru Forester or a Honda Element type of style. They hold their own in Boston traffic, and that's saying something!
