El proyecto Solar Circular, del CDEA de la Universidad de Antofagasta, validó tres pilotos que reutilizan paneles fotovoltaicos retirados: agricultura, carga eléctrica y vivienda.
También elaboró protocolos para determinar qué módulos pueden tener una segunda vida.

Memories from Februaries spent in the #Atacama desert. Team members would take nights off to recover from the heat and do laundry in town, pick up supplies at the hardware store.
Often we had to get those foil-faced windshield covers to protect computers that would overheat in the sun.
Driving through that otherworldly #landscape was exhilarating.

A Reminder that Antofagasta’s Copper and Nickel Mine on the edge of the Boundary Waters is a Coordinated Political Project
In my most recent post about the Senate vote to overturn the Rainy River Watershed Mineral Withdrawal, I made the simple point (for what seems the umpteenth time, forgive me) that this latest bid to hand over the Boundary Waters to a foreign mining company is part of a coordinated political project, one that stretches back to Trump’s first term and with connections to Project 2025.
The coordinating is being done behind closed doors, much of it by Antofagasta’s lobbyists, and nowadays that means The Bernhardt Group, the lobbying firm that Trump’s former Secretary of Interior, David Bernhardt, set up last year. The Group has edged out all other firms and now exclusively runs the Antofagasta lobbying game in DC.
Now we have The Bernhardt Group’s lobbying disclosures for the first quarter of 2026. The form shows a slight increase in revenue — from $110,000 in the final quarters of 2025 to $120,000 this quarter. Three Bernhardt lobbyists worked every room necessary: the House, the Senate, Interior, Executive Office of the President, and USDA.
It’s notable that the Group did not lobby DOJ this quarter, as they did in 2025. As I remarked last week, passing HJR 140 likely rendered moot the case before the DC District Court of Appeals. A favorable judgment in that case seemed highly unlikely.
Having worked with the federal government to put that case on hold, the Bernhardt Group could focus instead on the political front. The House and Senate passed House Joint Resolution 140 to overturn the mineral withdrawal. The Executive Office of the President could be involved in all sorts of ways, and it’s worth remembering that one of the most powerful figures in that Office these days is Russell Vought, architect of Project 2025; the agencies (Interior and USDA) had to be captured and controlled — easy enough with people like Doug Burgum and Brooke Rollins in charge.
Under their direction, the agencies will now start taking steps to approve Antofagasta’s lease applications (the stated object on these federal disclosures) and move the Twin Metals project toward the permitting phase.

Albemarle says #Chile #lithium plant operating normally after incident last week
By Reuters
August 12, 2025SANTIAGO, Aug 12 (Reuters) - #LaNegra lithium processing plant in Chile is operating normally after an 'incident' last week, the company told Reuters on Tuesday, after a local lawmaker said authorities had opened an investigation.
There were no injuries and sales of the metal used to make #LithiumIon batteries are not expected to be affected, #Albemarle said, without providing additional details."It was not immediately clear if operations had temporarily shut down last week. Albemarle gave no more details of the incident.
"Jaime Araya, who represents the #Antofagasta region where the plant is located in the Chilean Congress' lower house, the Chamber of Deputies, last week sent a letter to Chile's mining regulator and labor office requesting an inspection of the site after receiving a complaint that a pipe containing acid had burst."Araya on Tuesday told Reuters he was informed that the labor inspector’s office had opened an investigation.
"A source familiar with Albemarle's operations said such probes are standard procedure and that the plant is operating normally. A second source added that the problem affected only one tank.
"A union leader for plant workers, Elias Torres, said he could not comment because an investigation was underway.
The labor inspector's office said it could not provide information because the matter was under review.
"Albemarle's shares were down slightly in Tuesday midday trading to $80.14.
Charlotte, North Carolina-based Albemarle on Monday said its Chief Operating Officer #NethaJohnson will leave the company as part of a management reorganization. Johnson's exit is not connected to the Chilean incident, a source told Reuters."Archived version:
