in the second quarter of 2025. However, Japan's
economy grew by 6 .5%, allowing it to surpass
California. The International Monetary Funds

-average winter is expected across the southern
United States, California, and much of the East
Coast and Florida. Conversely, colder -than -normal
conditions will likely affect the Pacific Northwest
and upper Midwest. Precipitation is anticipated
in the northern Rockies and Great Lakes region,
while the southern tier may experience drier
-than -average conditions. La Nina conditions
are a primary driver of this year's forecast,
influencing temperatures and precipitation patterns
across the nation. In business news, Med -Ed

Sunny Morning sent you by. And now back to the
show. Let's talk science. Scientists have finally
corrected a fatal flaw in an unlimited power
source, sparking an energy revolution. Researchers
in the United Kingdom exploited a weakness in
current energy technology to create more electricity.
Traditional solar power technology falters during
heat waves, losing 10 to 25 % of potential electricity.
The new method alters photovoltaic cells to store
excess heat as chemical energy, which can later
be converted into electricity. If widely adopted,
these photoelectrochemical solar panels could
significantly contribute to sustainable power.
This innovative approach showcases that even
heat waves could be harnessed to power the green
energy revolution. At EQ hints at Apple's next
sports deal, stating, we do love F1. As Apple
reportedly approaches a yearly deal worth $140
million for the United States' rights of Formula
One, Hugh has been discussing Apple TV and sports
streaming. During a recent panel, Hugh criticized
the current streaming landscape, suggesting more
bundling is needed. He also noted that streaming
technology could unlock new opportunities. When
discussing Formula One, Q pointed out that the
related movie is the highest -grossing sports
film of all time. Apple is close to announcing
its Formula One streaming package, potentially
this weekend at the U .S. Grand Prix in Austin.
Well, all righty, folks. It's time for the quote
of the day. And today... Our quote comes from
the American inventor and futurist R. Buckminster
Fuller. And he said, we are called to be architects
of the future, not its victims. And that's a
wrap for this morning. You can check out our
Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating
aerial videos with local news and the surf reports.
Have an amazing day, my good friends. We'll see
