Editing Natural resource (section)

===Stage of development===
* '''Potential resources:''' Resources that are known to exist, but have not been utilized yet. These may be used in the future. For example, [[petroleum]] in sedimentary rocks that, until extracted and put to use, remains a ''potential'' resource.
* '''Actual resources:''' Resources that have been surveyed, quantified and qualified, and are currently used in development. These are typically dependent on technology and the level of their feasibility, [[wood processing]] for example.
* '''Reserves:''' The part of an actual resource that can be developed profitably in the future.
* ''' Stocks:''' Resources that have been surveyed, but cannot be used due to lack of technology, [[hydrogen vehicle]]s for example.
