Recent Letter by V. B. Svetovoy [Phys. Rev. Lett. v.101, 163603 (2008), arXiv:0809.3901] claims that the Lifshitz theory combined with spatially nonlocal dielectric permittivities is consistent with the experimental data and Nernst's theorem. We prove that these claims are incorrect. They are based on irregular comparison with the data and misinterpretation of relevant physical quantities.
