00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,560 energy supply. 41 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:37,040 Known as the duck curve, this pattern illustrates the daily energy demand. 42 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,720 Peaking in the evening has solar production wanes. 43 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:47,000 Brian Murray, director of real-time operations with the California Independent System Operator, 44 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:54,760 explains that while the state boasts 20,000 megawatts of solar capacity, it has only 8,500 45 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,480 megawatts of wind energy. 46 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:03,560 The rise of battery farms, which can quickly adjust supply, enhances flexibility. 47 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:12,320 California aims for 60% renewable energy by 2030 and 100% by 2045, with promising progress 48 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:18,840 already visible. 49 00:04:18,840 --> 00:04:21,520 Now on to sports. 50 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:28,160 San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall has been placed on the reserve non-football 51 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:33,880 injury list, meaning he will miss at least the first four regular season games. 52 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:39,680 Pearsall, who is 23 years old, was shot in the chest during an attempted robbery on Saturday 53 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,400 in the Union Square area of San Francisco. 54 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:49,160 Fortunately, he did not require surgery and was released from the hospital the following 55 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,160 day. 56 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:56,240 A 17-year-old suspect is in custody and charges are expected soon. 57 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:01,800 The 49ers have signed offensive tackle Brandon Parker to fill the roster spot created by 58 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,920 Pearsall's absence. 59 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,760 In local sports. 60 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:12,240 Tonight, the Padres face the Detroit Tigers at Petco Park. 61 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:20,680 The Padres, at 79 and 61, sit second in the NL West, while the Tigers, at 70 and 69, are 62 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,520 fourth in the AL Central. 63 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:29,920 Hugh Darvish will take the mound for the Padres, bringing a strong 3.20 ERA, looking to add 64 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,720 to his four wins this season. 65 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:39,720 The Tigers will counter with Cajeter Montero, who has struggled with a 5.17 ERA. 66 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:44,800 Both teams are coming off recent wins, and with the playoff push heating up, every game 67 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:45,960 counts. 68 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:52,660 The Padres have gone 6-4 over their last 10 games, while Detroit has won seven of their 69 00:05:52,660 --> 00:05:54,520 last 10. 70 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:59,880 Keep an eye on Darvish to set the tone early, as the Padres look to stay in the playoff 71 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:00,880 hunt. 72 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:09,960 In top news, Disney has removed its channels, including ESPN, from DirecTV just minutes 73 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:17,560 before a highly anticipated college football game, leaving over 10 million customers frustrated. 74 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:22,760 This blackout is a result of a contentious contract dispute, with negotiations failing 75 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,960 before the September 1st deadline. 76 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:32,160 As traditional pay TV providers face ongoing challenges from court-cutting, DirecTV argues 77 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:37,840 that Disney's requirement for minimum penetration of its channels is unfair to subscribers who 78 00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:39,920 do not watch sports. 79 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:46,120 Meanwhile, sports fans are already feeling the impact, missing out on significant events, 80 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:51,920 including the upcoming Monday Night Football game and the Emmy Awards. 81 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:58,860 In business news, Stellantis is facing significant challenges following disappointing earnings 82 00:06:58,860 --> 00:07:02,340 results in July 2024. 83 00:07:02,340 --> 00:07:07,240 The multinational automaker has implemented aggressive cost-cutting measures, including 84 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:14,440 voluntary buyouts and layoffs of over 2,450 assembly line workers. 85 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:20,120 Amidst this turmoil, Walter B. Rhodes, a descendant of the Chrysler founder, made a proposal to 86 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:27,600 rescue the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram brands from what he perceives as mismanagement. 87 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:34,240 In response, Stellantis reaffirmed its commitment to its portfolio, stating, we cannot afford 88 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,760 to have brands that do not make money. 89 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:43,740 Rhodes clarified he seeks employee ownership, not personal ownership of the brands. 90 00:07:43,740 --> 00:07:50,120 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $56,600. 91 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,640 Ethereum is just under $2,400. 92 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:59,360 And Solana is $128. 93 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,760 Moving on to a more local vibe. 94 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:08,700 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 95 00:08:08,700 --> 00:08:12,880 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 96 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:17,960 Check out Club Pilates with several locations in the San Diego area. 97 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:24,080 Pilates presents a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating strength, reducing tension, 98 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,040 and elevating mental well-being. 99 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,880 Scientific research affirms its benefits. 100 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:37,200 So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Encinitas, 101 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:42,440 Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more. 102 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,560 Just be sure to tell them, Sunny Morning sent you by. 103 00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:50,240 And now, back to the show. 104 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,120 Let's talk science. 105 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:57,680 NASA astronaut Butch Wilmore has reported a strange noise from the troubled Boeing Starliner 106 00:08:57,680 --> 00:09:03,800 space capsule, which has kept him and his colleague Suni Williams in orbit for six additional 107 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,960 months since their launch in June. 108 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:12,660 On Saturday, Wilmore communicated a pulsing sound from a speaker inside the capsule, prompting 109 00:09:12,660 --> 00:09:16,200 an investigation into its origin. 110 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:21,660 The Starliner, plagued by helium leaks and propulsion issues, is scheduled to return 111 00:09:21,660 --> 00:09:25,440 to Earth on September 6, without the astronauts. 112 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:31,440 They are now expected to return in a SpaceX capsule in February. 113 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:37,400 Radio anomalies in space are not uncommon, with past reports of unusual sounds from other 114 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:38,400 missions. 115 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:46,760 Entertainment news In Reagan, Dennis Quaid portrays the 40th 116 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:51,760 president in a film directed by Sean McNamara, which some may call hagiographic. 117 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:57,840 The movie attempts to capture Reagan's life in presidency through the eyes of a fictional 118 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:03,160 Soviet official, Viktor Petrovich, played by John Voight. 119 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:07,600 While the film features clever visuals, such as intercutting scenes of Reagan chopping 120 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:12,440 wood with the fall of the Berlin Wall, it largely lacks creativity. 121 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:17,520 Quaid's portrayal has been criticized for its lack of authenticity, and the screenplay 122 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:23,840 seems to favor a heroic narrative over a nuanced depiction of Reagan's complexities, ultimately 123 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,520 missing an opportunity for depth. 124 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:32,440 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 125 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:38,960 And today, our quote comes from the man Dennis Quaid portrayed, Ronald Reagan. 126 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,360 And he said, 127 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:45,880 Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. 128 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,780 We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. 129 00:10:49,780 --> 00:10:56,480 It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same. 130 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,080 And that's a wrap for this morning. 131 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:05,240 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos 132 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,560 with local news and the surf reports. 133 00:11:07,560 --> 00:11:10,600 Have an amazing day, my good friends. 134 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:27,400 We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
