Natural Resources

Natural resources refer to materials and substances found in nature that can be utilized for economic gain or to meet human needs. They can be classified into renewable resources, like sunlight, wind, and biomass, and non-renewable resources, such as minerals, oil, and natural gas. Natural resources play a role in determining the nation's energy independence and security.

When evaluating political policies, voters might consider proposals on the regulation of resource extraction and use, ensuring a balance between economic interests and environmental concerns, views on investments in and development of renewable resources versus non-renewable ones, initiatives aimed at conserving resources or promoting sustainable and efficient use as well as stances on international cooperation related to shared resources or global resource-related challenges.
