00:00:30,880 It is now the second most populous city in the United States and the home to Hollywood, 6 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:36,720 whose name is synonymous with the American motion picture industry.

--> 00:03:48,400 In local news. 46 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:54,520 California's energy grid is adapting as it seeks to balance renewable energy supply. 47 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:59,000 Known as the duck curve, this pattern illustrates the daily energy demand. 48 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,760 Peaking in the evening has solar production wanes. 49 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:09,280 Brian Murray, director of real time operations with the California Independent System Operator, 50 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:16,600 explains that while the state boasts 20,000 megawatts of solar capacity, it has only 8,500 51 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,480 megawatts of wind energy. 52 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:25,640 The rise of battery farms, which can quickly adjust supply, enhances flexibility. 53 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:34,320 California aims for 60% renewable energy by 2030 and 100% by 2045, with promising progress 54 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:40,800 already visible. 55 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,480 Now on to sports. 56 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:50,120 San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall has been placed on the reserve non-football 57 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:55,840 injury list, meaning he will miss at least the first four regular season games. 58 00:04:55,840 --> 00:05:01,640 Pearsall, who is 23 years old, was shot in the chest during an attempted robbery on Saturday 59 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,360 in the Union Square area of San Francisco. 60 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:11,120 Fortunately, he did not require surgery and was released from the hospital the following 61 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,120 day. 62 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:18,200 A 17-year-old suspect is in custody and charges are expected soon. 63 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:23,760 The 49ers have signed offensive tackle Brandon Parker to fill the roster spot created by 64 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,880 Pearsall's absence. 65 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,720 In local sports. 66 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:34,200 Tonight, the Padres face the Detroit Tigers at Petco Park. 67 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:42,680 The Padres, at 79 and 61, sit second in the NL West, while the Tigers, at 70 and 69, are 68 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,480 fourth in the AL Central. 69 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:51,880 New Darvish will take the mound for the Padres, bringing a strong 3.20 ERA, looking to add 70 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,680 to his four wins this season. 71 00:05:54,680 --> 00:06:01,680 The Tigers will counter with Keiter Montero, who has struggled with a 5.17 ERA. 72 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:06,760 Both teams are coming off recent wins, and with the playoff push heating up, every game 73 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:07,920 counts. 74 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:14,620 The Padres have gone 6-4 over their last 10 games, while Detroit has won seven of their 75 00:06:14,620 --> 00:06:16,480 last 10. 76 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:21,840 Keep an eye on Darvish to set the tone early, as the Padres look to stay in the playoff 77 00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:22,840 hunt. 78 00:06:22,840 --> 00:06:31,920 In top news, Disney has removed its channels, including ESPN, from DirecTV just minutes 79 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:39,520 before a highly anticipated college football game, leaving over 10 million customers frustrated. 80 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:44,720 This blackout is a result of a contentious contract dispute, with negotiations failing 81 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,920 before the September 1st deadline. 82 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:54,120 As traditional pay TV providers face ongoing challenges from court-cutting, DirecTV argues 83 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:59,800 that Disney's requirement for minimum penetration of its channels is unfair to subscribers who 84 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,880 do not watch sports. 85 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:08,320 Meanwhile, sports fans are already feeling the impact, missing out on significant events, 86 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:13,880 including the upcoming Monday Night Football game and the Emmy Awards. 87 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:20,820 In business news, Stellantis is facing significant challenges following disappointing earnings 88 00:07:20,820 --> 00:07:24,320 results in July 2024. 89 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:29,200 The multinational automaker has implemented aggressive cost-cutting measures, including 90 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:36,400 voluntary buyouts and layoffs of over 2,450 assembly line workers. 91 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:42,080 Amidst this turmoil, Walter B. Rhodes, a descendant of the Chrysler founder, made a proposal to 92 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:49,560 rescue the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram brands from what he perceives as mismanagement. 93 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:56,200 In response, Stellantis reaffirmed its commitment to its portfolio, stating, we cannot afford 94 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,720 to have brands that do not make money. 95 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:05,680 Rhodes clarified he seeks employee ownership, not personal ownership of the brands. 96 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:12,080 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $56,600. 97 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,600 Ethereum is just under $2,400. 98 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:21,320 And Solana is $128. 99 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,720 Moving on to a more local vibe. 100 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:30,660 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 101 00:08:30,660 --> 00:08:35,000 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 102 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,880 Check out Club Pilates with several locations in the San Diego area. 103 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:46,040 Pilates presents a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating strength, reducing tension, 104 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,960 and elevating mental well-being. 105 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,840 Scientific research affirms its benefits. 106 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:59,160 So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Encinitas, 107 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:04,400 Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more. 108 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:08,520 Just be sure to tell them, Sunny Morning sent you by. 109 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,200 And now, back to the show. 110 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,080 Let's talk science. 111 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:19,640 NASA astronaut Butch Wilmore has reported a strange noise from the troubled Boeing Starliner 112 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:25,800 space capsule, which has kept him and his colleague Suni Williams in orbit for six additional 113 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,920 months since their launch in June. 114 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:34,640 On Saturday, Wilmore communicated a pulsing sound from a speaker inside the capsule, prompting 115 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,160 an investigation into its origin. 116 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:43,620 The Starliner, plagued by helium leaks and propulsion issues, is scheduled to return 117 00:09:43,620 --> 00:09:47,360 to Earth on September 6, without the astronauts. 118 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:53,400 They are now expected to return in a SpaceX capsule in February. 119 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:59,360 Radio anomalies in space are not uncommon, with past reports of unusual sounds from other 120 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:00,360 missions. 121 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:08,720 Entertainment news In Reagan, Dennis Quaid portrays the 40th 122 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:13,720 president in a film directed by Sean McNamara, which some may call hagiographic. 123 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:19,800 The movie attempts to capture Reagan's life in presidency through the eyes of a fictional 124 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:25,120 Soviet official, Viktor Petrovich, played by John Voight. 125 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,560 While the film features clever visuals, such as intercutting scenes of Reagan chopping 126 00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:34,400 wood with the fall of the Berlin Wall, it largely lacks creativity. 127 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:39,480 Quaid's portrayal has been criticized for its lack of authenticity, and the screenplay 128 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:45,800 seems to favor a heroic narrative over a nuanced depiction of Reagan's complexities, ultimately 129 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,480 missing an opportunity for depth. 130 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:54,400 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 131 00:10:54,400 --> 00:11:00,920 And today, our quote comes from the man Dennis Quaid portrayed, Ronald Reagan. 132 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:07,840 And he said, Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. 133 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,740 We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. 134 00:11:11,740 --> 00:11:18,440 It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same. 135 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,960 And that's a wrap for this morning. 136 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:26,880 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos 137 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,480 with local news and the surf reports. 138 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,360 Have an amazing day, my good friends. 139 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:49,160 We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
