The renewable energy alternatives presented in the video were:
• wind power- the use of wind turbines to help produce useful energy for the United States to use.
• solar energy- the use of sun’s rays to provide electricity and power.
• biomass fermentation- the use of nature materials as conversion into energy and/ or fuel.

The challenge of using and managing renewable energy resources:
• The cost of energy in the United States is low compared to other countries which make it harder for the industry to compete with certain alternative resources.
• Having people incorporate alternative energy resources into their daily lives.
• Storing excess energy to use when needed
• Proving that alternative energy resources technologies are viable is more of a struggle for the US compared with other countries.
• Some resources are not readily available

Other kinds of renewable energy resource not presented in the video are:
• Water power
• Geothermal

Three common challenges of managing nonrenewable energy resources are:
• The emissions released from the use of coal. Such as, harmful carbons.
• Finding and harvesting enough oil to supply US usage
• Potential pollutants such as gas leaks or explosions.
