Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fritz the Cat" data-source="post: 395447" data-attributes="member: 605">Here is another. Not going to post it's entirety. Just a clip I found interesting:<a href="https://www.eenews.net/articles/gop-ags-denounce-trading-natural-asset-companies-on-stock-exchange/" target="_blank">https://www.eenews.net/articles/gop-ags-denounce-trading-natural-asset-companies-on-stock-exchange/</a>The proposal <a href="https://www.eenews.net/articles/invest-in-nature-might-be-possible-with-natural-asset-companies/" target="_blank">currently before the SEC</a> would allow the stock exchange to list companies with missions to improve ecosystems through management, maintenance or restoration of public or privately owned lands. The companies would then evaluate the health of the lands and put a dollar value on the resulting benefits, like clean air or wildlife habitat.But opponents, including conservative lawmakers and property rights advocates, have asserted the proposal would also boost Biden administration plans to conserve more public lands — and put them out of the hands of extractive industry and ranchers.In <a href="https://subscriber.politicopro.com/eenews/f/eenews/?id=0000018c-f983-d210-abfc-f9d3b4d50000" target="_blank">a 16-page letter</a>, led by Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes (R) and Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach (R), the attorneys general pointed <a href="https://subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eenews/2024/01/04/tough-choices-could-make-2024-a-wild-ride-for-interior-00133426" target="_blank">to the pending public lands rule</a> under consideration by the Bureau of Land Management that would put conservation on par with those uses, including offering 10-year leases to restore acreage.“The proposed rule provides a mechanism for companies whose purpose is not to make money, but instead to lock up land to prohibit productive economic uses thereof, to find investors and capital so they can obtain conservation leases and other ‘ecological performance rights,’” the letter states.The top attorneys from Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming also signed the missive. All of the officials are Republicans.“The proposed rule is part of an interlocking scheme designed to facilitate another agency’s violation of the law — namely, BLM’s issuance of illegal ‘conservation leases,’” the letter continues.Hey PrairieGhost, remember all the discussions we used to have about ranchers, the sagebrush rebellion etc. Surely you have an opinion on this?</blockquote>
