Agricultural: arable land, wheat, barley, sheep The UK has large coal, natural gas, and oil reserves; primary energy production accounts for 10% of GDP, one of the highest shares of any industrial nation. Due to the island location of the UK, the country has great potential for generating electricity from wave power and tidal power, although these have not yet been exploited on a commercial basis.[/quote] Also https://www.reference.com/geography/natural-resources-great-britain-2d06cad756c65c8 [quote]Historically, coal has been Britain's richest natural resource. During the 19th and 20th centuries, the British produced enough coal to meet most of their own energy needs. In 1970, they were the world's third largest producer of coal. While Britain still has large coal deposits, it has become more economical to produce coal in other countries, and British production has declined steadily. During the 1960s, oil and gas were discovered under the North Sea, and studies showed huge reserves of shale gas below the North Sea floor.[/quote] [Edited on 05-07-2016 by Steve] [/quote]
