Comstock has been notified by the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection of the issuance of the new Class II Air Quality Operating Permit for its solar panel recycling facility.
The facility is being built to include technology for crushing, conditioning, extracting and recycling metal concentrates from PV and other electronic devices.
Comstock has received county permission and the Class II permit, with issuance of the Nevada Solid Waste Material Recovery Facility Permit expected this quarter. The latter permit will enable Comstock to complete the process equipment installation and solicit the county fire marshall and building department to provide the final facility certificate of operation.
“We represent a safe, zero-landfill, end-of-life solution for solar installers, landfills, and utility-scale solar developers and generators, serving the entire Southwestern U.S. and beyond,” says Dr. Fortunato Villamagna, Comstock Metals president. “Large volumes of end-of-life photovoltaic materials are rapidly becoming available from large solar fields, creating an environmental dilemma. Comstock Metals ensures the safe deconstruction, decontamination, separation and productive reuse of important materials and precious metals.”

The Downside of Social Media
At left is a recent post by a “friend” on FB. A couple of points that illustrate how inane and dangerous social media can be:
- This is a hoax that was debunked that year.
- Protesting the U.S. support for what’s happening in Gaza is far different than “organizing pro-Hamas rallies.”
- Objecting to the free expression of ideas is unAmerican.
Of course, stupidity exists even in the absence of social media, but there is no doubt that it accelerates that rate at which crap like this can be promulgated throughout our society.

This Is a Big Ask
To accept what House Speaker Mike Johnson says here, you’ll have to pretend that you received your DOGE and Tariff checks, that grocery and gasoline prices aren’t through the roof, that the national debt didn’t just break the $40 trillion barrier, and that the United States has won the illegal and pointless war in Iran.
OK, we’re stupid, but there must be a limit.
Please tell me there is a limit.

Trump’s Attempt at Bribery
There are so many obnoxious features of Trump’s offer to bribe voters that it’s impossible to count them all.
Something that jumps out at me is that I live among people whose integrity is for sale for $5000.
