I am urging the SEC to NOT allow the NYSE to list "Natural Asset Companies" or NACs, pursuant to File No. SR-NYSE-2023-09. NACs seek to use others' money, including that obtained via the capital markets, to buy the ability to control or "manage" productive public and private land and other natural resources. Their stated purpose in doing so is not to make a profit or to be productive, but rather to protect,conserve, restore and preserve these natural "assets", based on whatever their own definitions of those activities are. Not only could this impact our ability to generate and access energy, critical minerals, water and food, but it could also put those decisions in the hands of institutions, such as foreign governments and their sovereign wealth funds,who could invest in these NACs and have de facto control over America's resources
