Dear SEC, I oppose the creation of Natural Asset Companies that will be used to sell off, and sell out, the United States. I do not want our country’s public lands, waters and even air sold to private interests obliged to preclude the productive use of such resources to the betterment of our society and the strengthening of our economy. In regard to air, what kind of voodoo economics is Wall Street planning on implementing to sell "air?" Quote from Real Clear Markets by Gabriella Hoffman, "Carbon credits, along with offsetting, have come under scrutiny of late. South Pole, the world’s largest carbon offset firm, sold millions in worthless environmental credits for its Kariba project in Africa so corporations like Gucci and Nestle could declare their products and services are “carbon neutral.” Another recent investigation into carbon offsets found 94% of applied offset credits were “phantom credits” that did little to reduce carbon emissions. The SEC rule, if enacted, would also pose a threat to both property rights and national security—in exchange for dubious environmental benefit. Natural asset companies, the rule asserts, would be granted permission to license land rights for minerals, water, or air to “sovereign nations or private landowners.” Those “sovereign nations” could include adversaries like China, Russia, North Korea, or Iran. The Chinese Communist Party is increasingly purchasing U.S. farmland for intelligence-gathering purposes. The “private landowners” in question would likely be financial asset managers BlackRock or Nuveen Natural Capital—not the traditional family farm owners that might come to mind." I also reject the imposition of unconstitutional restrictions via such means on individual Americans’ property rights and other freedoms. My sentiments are further intensified by the prospect that those private interests may include hostile foreign powers like the Chinese Communist Party, Russia and Iran who may have their own reasons for wanting to lock down our hydrocarbon-based fuels, our minerals, forests, etc. I urge the Commission to extend the time available for comment on proposed Rule SR-NYSE-2023-09 or to reject it outright immediately.
