| "pfjw@aol.com" <peterwieck33@gmail.com>: Jan 08 08:50AM -0800 Efficiency is not what is under discussion. What is under discussion is the actual lifetime cost of Solar as compared to the actual return over that lifetime. No one in this discussion has actually mentioned coal (or any other fossil fuel) as I read it. Nuclear and Wind power have been mentioned. Wind is limited by and to appropriate locations, but as to cost and efficiency, it is a the top of the list. Nuclear is limited by political will, and by poorly executed installation parameters. Otherwise, it really would be too cheap to meter. Think "test sites in Nevada" when it comes to waste, and think "Fast breeder reactor" when it comes to new fuel. All established technologies that if installed in an appropriate scale would be entirely safe. Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |

There was only bedrock for miles in every direction. No lawns , no trees, no vegetation of any kind. I had never heard of Sudbury so I wondered what the hell was going on as I drove in on 17 from the east. The locals filled me in. I was shocked that Canada would allow such ecological degradation. After the towers were installed, the fumes drifted into New York state and caused dead lakes. Chuck |

Only if those "solar people" are not paying the actual lifetime costs of the installation. When will you "get" that basic fact? Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |

Chuck I think those stacks were added back in the 60s...and I remember reading about the devastation that the people of Sudbury enjoyed from their main employer. In some respects it was only fair to ship the pollution further as both Canadians and Americans had the benefit of "The Big Nickle" and both should pay the price. And (as far as I know) Inco was forced to clean up their act because of all that pollution because it turned out that the rest of Canada and the US didn't care for all that crap! John :-#)# |

When will you "get" that basic fact? After eight years, everything is profit. Whether "lifetime" or not. This is well-known within the solar power industry. You do not "get" this basic fact. |
| root <NoEMail@home.org>: Jan 09 12:42AM I just bought an Onkyo NR696 receiver and it has a maddening problem. When HDMI video starts from any source the first 1 to 5 seconds of video show before the audio starts. After much fiddling with settings, and discussions with the tech support people (with no success) I traced the problem down to the start sequence. Input to the Onkyo comes from a A/V server which runs 24/7. Video output from the Onkyo goes to an LG 65" 4K tv. The A/V server video comes from an NVidia 610 with TwinView. The VGA output of the video card goes to a monitor. If I start the Onkyo before turning on the TV the delay in the audio is evident. However, if I turn on the TV before turning on the Onkyo the audio delay is gone. After turning on the TV I only have a second or so to turn on the Onkyo otherwise the TV goes into screen saver mode. Even when I manage the start sequence correctly, the Onkyo reverts back to the audio delay if I stop the video stream and start a different stream. I want to make it clear that audio/video sync is not a problem. While video comes on immediately it starts with the audio muted for, as I said, 1-5 seconds and when the audio starts it is in sync with the video. The Onkyo has a lip/sync feature which can be disabled but on or off that does not affect the audio delay. Over the years I have had a number of receivers and none have had any such problem. A previous Onkyo NR616 did not have the problem and neither did a Denon 3313CI. A google search revealed the others have complained about the problem as long ago as 2017 but that problem seemed to have been resolved. I bought the Onkyo because the Denon HD radio tuner quit. The Denon wasn't without its own problems which included not even starting audio when switched between different inputs. I chose to get the Onkyo rather than have the Denon repaired, but now I wonder if I should just return the damned Onkyo. I would appreciate any suggestions. Could the problem arise from some "improvement" in handling HDMI? |
