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.”

Lying to Morons about Crime Rates
Basing a claim on a single incident, e.g., the murder of Charlie Kirk, has no real validity.
So, here’s was AI says on the matter:
Violent crime, particularly homicide and gun violence, is significantly higher in the United States compared to Europe.
The U.S. homicide rate fluctuates between 5.5 and 6.5 per 100,000 residents, whereas most Western European countries see rates well below 2.0 per 100,000. A resident of the U.S. is generally 5 – 6 times more likely to be a victim of a homicide than someone living in Western Europe.

Life in America Is Ruthless
The meme here speaks volumes to life in the United States and free market capitalism as a whole.
I happened to have met the guy who, in the 1990s, tried to build railways that would connect Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. One day he got a phone call from Herb Kelleher, co-founder and former CEO of Southwest Airlines, who told him, “The fare between any of the major cities in Texas is $80. The day you drive your first spike in the ground, I’m lowering it to $8.”
American businesspeople are no more interested in the wellbeing of our people than they have in being diagnosed with cancer.
If you’re wondering why there is so much pushback against renewable energy and other elements of climate change mitigation, you really don’t to look much further.

Evaluating California and its Governor
Hmm. He’s the governor of the most populous state in the country, whose revenues, if it were a country, would make it the fourth largest economy on Earth. His state ranks in the top five in terms of colleges and universities. We’re wealthy, well-educated, and extremely productive.
It’s true that he’s not a Trump supporter, but California (and the rest of the world) generally regards the current U.S. president as a criminal sociopath.
Yes, that infuriates folks who are poor, ignorant, racist, and disease-ridden, but generally speaking, it doesn’t bother Californians.
