"An abundance of natural resources has been a basic factor in the Nation's rapid development as a world power and in the attainment of the very high standard of living Americans enjoy. Usually defined as those materials found in nature that are available to people, natural resources include water, minerals, sources of energy, land, and the products of the land. Bounteous supplies of resources alone do not assure national strength or a high standard of living.... It is important to distinguish between available usable natural resources and the mere existence of resources." (White)
