Using humans or any other animal as an energy source is of course foolish since the 
energy needed to create a human is far greater than the energy that the human can 
generate. You could run machines on plants thus converting sunlight into complex 
carbohydrates that can be used as fuel. But why bother with this - just use mechanical 
devices to collect solar energy.
