Perhaps, it will work to the nation's advantage, creating a perfect environment to incubate the world's next major energy technology. Are there any mistakes? Thanks.

	Grammar Geek  +  541534 Mon, 14 Jul 08 09:55 PM I think of electricity as the product of energy. Do you mean using batteries to power cars? Grammar Geek

	New2grammar  +  541541 Mon, 14 Jul 08 10:09 PM I guess you are right to say that electricity is a product of energy. If so, I believe you also think of cooking oil as an energy product which is derived from crops. Grammar Geek “Do you mean using batteries to power cars? ” Yes. I gave two examples: electricity and cooking oil (biodiesel) Are you still confused? Could you tell me what's bothering you. I feel that you're not comfortable with the logic of my sentences.

Resource's definition in Oxford dictionary is a supply of sth that a country has and can use. So the word resource accords with context of your sentence.
