For Example: Wind Power as renewable energy:  Can only generate 0.5% of the energy usage needs of the United States Ethanol as a renewable energy:  You will need to plant a little more than a half an acre of corn to produce enough ethanol to drive an average sized car across country and you would need about 140 gallons (530 liters) of fossil fuel to plant, grow and harvest an acre of corn.

For Example, Example Hemp as a renewable resource for the manufacture of durable clothing  Growth of this plant is prohibited in the United States Bamboo as a renewable resource for use in flooring  Bamboo floors cost three times as much as hard wood or laminate flooring
