Natural Resources

In different government systems the government and people have different things that they can control. This goes out to all the aspects of the country including natural resources. In the two government types listed below, Communism and Mixed Economy, here is who can control each natural resource. The country I chose to represent Communism is China and the government system I chose to represent a mixed economy is the United States.
Communism:
Oil- Government
Natural Gas- Government
Water- Government
Solar- Government
Wind- Government
Timber- Government
Minerals- Government
Coal- Government
People- Government
Mixed Economy:
Oil- Company
Natural Gas- People
Water- Government
Solar- People
Wind- People/ Company
Timber- Government
Minerals- Government
Coal- Company/ Government
People- People
In a mixed economy some of the people have more control but it depends if they own the land they want to harness the natural resources on or not. If the Government owns the land then they control the natural resources. In a Mixed Economy the people and companies have more control as to a Communist country where the Government controls everything.
