Don't allow the NYSE to list Natural Asset Companies. I, as a citizen of the United States, do not want Wall Street, university endowments or even a foreign government to control our natural resources. NACs may pose a threat to national security and subordinate the interests of millions of Americans to the aims of environmental activists as well as to United Nations policies and mandates. As the AG's of Utah, Kansas, Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, New Hampshire, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming have already written: "NACs rely on unproven models focused not on returns and value for investors but rather restrictions of legal and productive use of natural resources, with dollars deployed in amorphous and undefined categories such as ‘natural assets’ and ‘ecosystem services. While masquerading as a novel tool for the public good, NACs are a brutish vehicle to accomplish an activist political agenda." Please make sure that NACs are kept as merely a crazy idea and not a reality. Again, I urge you to rescind your proposal allowing the NYSE to list Natural Asset Companies.
