People, in particular educated people who can manage the country as a 1000 - year project, not a 20 - year one. We cannot consider the land has only value as long as we can extract from it. It must be managed in perpetuity.

∙ 13y agoNew Zealand's climate is the driver of our major resource - that ability to grow things. Such as grass for sheep and cows; trees for paper and timber; and reasonably warm nutrient-rich waters for fishing.
We do have some ironsands, but these are not ideal for steel making, and some of these contain thorium which may be useful as a fuel for nuclear power generation.
Large quantities of coal exist, but these are not without their associated problems.

∙ 11y agoAccording to NZ government figures released from 2007 Hydro Power and Natural Gas fired power plants are the main two sources of power in New Zealand.
Hydro Power generates 55% of the countries power needs while Gas fired plants account for 26% percent of the countries power needs. So together they help supply 81% of the total power.
Of the remaining 19% of generated power in NZ, it comes from Geothermal 8%, Coal 7%, Wind %2 and various other ways including solar power 2%.
While Hydro-electricity generation is traditionally the largest source of electricity in New Zealand the limited opportunities for further hydro development and the steady growing need in NZ for more power will slowly see its overall percentage of the power it supplies dropping over time as other forms of power generation increase to fill the countries growing power needs.
