Kazakhstan in the future Kazakhstan has a lot of oil and natural gas. These are important for industry and transport, and for heating homes and schools. A lot of countries don’t have their own oil and gas, so Kazakhstan will be important in the future – it will supply other countries with the oil and gas they need. But one day we’ll need new forms of energy. We already have some hydro – electric power stations in Kazakhstan. May be in the future we’ll need solar power too.

World globalization

There is no need to be for or against globalization; it is funny when there are indigenous people, who think that globalization will lead to world dominance of some country or companies. Evil guys will appropriate all natural resources of our planet and everybody will become a subject of consumerist culture.
