1. For each of the shares
and warrants being registered for resale, disclose the price that the
selling securityholders
paid for such shares and warrants.
2. We note the significant
number of redemptions of your Class A common stock in
connection with your
business combination and that the shares being registered for resale
will constitute a
considerable percentage of your public float. We also note that most of
the shares being
registered for resale were purchased by the selling securityholders for
prices considerably
below the current market price of the Class A common stock.
Highlight the
significant negative impact sales of shares on this registration statement
could have on the
public trading price of the Class A common stock.

3. Include an additional risk factor highlighting the negative pressure
potential sales of
shares pursuant to this registration statement could have on the
public trading price of the
Class A common stock. To illustrate this risk, disclose the purchase
price of the securities
being registered for resale and the percentage that these shares
currently represent of the
total number of shares outstanding. Also disclose that the private
investors have an
incentive to sell because they will still profit on sales because of
the lower price that they
purchased their shares than the public investors.

impact the market price of the company s common stock. Your
discussion should
highlight the fact that Legacy NET Power Holders, a beneficial owner
of 64.6%of your
outstanding shares, will be able to sell a significant number of its
shares for so long as the
registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is
available for use and the
stock price remains above the $12.00 per share price.

warrants, and the
price that the public securityholders acquired their shares and
warrants. Disclose that
while the Sponsor, private placement investors, PIPE investors, other
selling
securityholders may experience a positive rate of return based on the
current trading price,
