I oppose this effort to sell-off – and sell-out – America. There are numerous problems with this scheme. In a powerful indictment of the sneaky way in which Team Biden and its allies at the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange are trying to engineer a new and ominous means of imposing their “green” agenda on the rest of us, Margaret Byfield warned in Real Clear Markets recently that: • These [NAC] companies would be given license to control lands, both public and private, and would be required not to conduct any “unsustainable activities, such as mining, that lead to the degradation of the ecosystems…. Sovereign nations, such as the United States Government, can provide their lands to private investors, including those outside the United States. China, for example, may be able to invest in a NAC and effectively be a stakeholder in our national parks. Russia could assume control of lands currently leased to produce oil and place them off limits for future natural resource development. • NACs would prevent the productive use of the land, which would hurt the landowners financially, but also reduce the supply of minerals, food, and other goods that come from the land. No! No! No!
