Answer to Question 1

Answers might mention coal, oil, natural gas, solar, nuclear, and hydro.

Answer to Question 2

Overall, the economies of Central Asia are relatively weak. Even though many of the former Soviet Union Republics possess oil and natural gas, the pipelines to transport this resource to customers are still under construction. In addition, these countries must work to establish their own ties to outside countries, after having been dependent on external relations from the central government of the USSR for decades. Afghanistan also has extensive resources, but historically, it has been a very traditional society, with the vast majority of its people engaged in subsistence agriculture and pastoralism. The region as a whole is landlocked, which is an additional impediment to participation in the world economy.
