As an individual concerned about the NYSE's Natural Asset Companies proposal, I fear it will severely limit access to crucial mineral resources, impacting our national and economic security. This concept will prevent mining on lands that become part of NACs, leading to increased reliance on foreign minerals and weakening U.S. competitiveness. Moreover, the proposal allows foreign investments in these assets, which is alarming. We should not open our federal lands to foreign investors, especially from potentially adversarial nations. The plan will also undermine current federal land management laws, and it's crucial that lands rich in minerals remain open for responsible exploration and development. I urge the SEC to reconsider this proposal, keeping in mind the importance of domestic mineral resources.
