Resources do sit idle in every situation where even if they exist they cannot be adequately exploited. Hydrogen as an energy source would be far superior to petroleum but the engineering to do that doesn't really exist in any feasible, safe fashion so it's not used. See the difference between *potential* resources and what's *actually* there? By this argument the history of the modern world should have been the clash of the Russian and Brazilian superpowers for global hegemony.
