1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,880 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Boston. 2 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:13,000 I'm your host Melissa and it's Tuesday, August 27th. 3 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,200 You'll be interested to know. 4 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:23,040 One hundred and sixty-five years ago, today, in 1859, Edwin Laurentine Drake struck oil 5 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:27,880 while drilling in Titusville, Pennsylvania, becoming the first driller of a productive 6 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,960 oil well in the United States. 7 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:35,840 This groundbreaking achievement marked the beginning of the modern petroleum industry, 8 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:43,040 revolutionizing energy production and contributing significantly to industrial progress. 9 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,040 So now you know. 10 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:49,160 And now, it's time for the weather report. 11 00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:55,160 It looks like grin for some patchy fog early on today, clearing up by 9 a.m. with mostly 12 00:00:55,160 --> 00:01:00,440 sunny skies and temperatures near 80 with a light breeze. 13 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:07,900 Tonight, expect

00:01:16,600 tide just before 11. 16 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:24,600 The nearshore buoy at Cape Cod Bay reads 69 degrees for the water temperature. 17 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,320 Looking ahead in the weather. 18 00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:32,680 Expect partly sunny skies on Wednesday with scattered showers and thunderstorms likely 19 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,720 from late morning into the evening. 20 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:40,240 Highs will be in the upper 80s, cooling to the low 60s at night. 21 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:45,560 Thursday through Friday will be mostly sunny, with highs in the low 70s and lows in the 22 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,920 mid-50s. 23 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:53,780 Rain chances return on Saturday with mostly cloudy skies and highs in the upper 70s, cooling 24 00:01:53,780 --> 00:01:56,440 to the mid-60s at night. 25 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,320 Bonjour, food enthusiasts. 26 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:04,120 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in

Sunny mornings send you. 34 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:41,760 In local news, the family of a Boston police officer has filed a wrongful death lawsuit 35 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:49,240 against Karen Reed, who was recently tried for the officer's death but faced a hung jury. 36 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:55,280 The lawsuit filed in Plymouth County Superior Court also targets two bars for allegedly 37 00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:03,360 serving Reed alcohol, when she was already intoxicated on January 28, 2022. 38 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:09,720 The suit claims Reed struck John O'Keefe with her Lexus SUV after drinking at CF McCarthy's 39 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,000 and Waterfall Bar and Grill. 40 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,560 Reed maintains her innocence, stating she was framed. 41 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:25,960 A new trial is scheduled for January 27. 42 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,640 Now on to sports. 43 00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:34,080 The NFL Players Association has vetoed a bylaw that would have allowed teams to elevate a 44 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:40,040 bona fide quarterback from the practice squad an unlimited number of times to serve as an 45 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,220 emergency third quarterback on game days. 46 00:03:44,220 --> 00:03:51,400 This means the game day emergency third quarterback will function the same as it did in 2023. 47 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:56,480 The rule proposed by the Buffalo Bills aimed to prevent non-quarterbacks from stepping 48 00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:02,960 in during games, as seen in the 2022 NFC Championship game. 49 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:09,600 The NFL Players Association opposed the change, fearing it would allow teams to stash a 54th 50 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,280 player on the practice squad. 51 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:20,040 In local sports, the Red Sox at home lost to the Blue Jays 7-3. 52 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:27,280 And tonight, the Sox are back at it for game three with the Jays. 53 00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:34,200 In top news, as Dr. Anthony Fauci recovers from West Nile virus, questions are rising 54 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:39,000 about the illness, including its contraction, symptoms and prevention. 55 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:45,600 Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told CBS 56 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:52,000 News that he expects to fully recover at home after being hospitalized for days. 57 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:59,360 The West Nile virus, primarily spread by mosquitoes, causes flu-like symptoms such as nausea, aches, 58 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,960 vomiting, fever and chills. 59 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:09,120 Less than one in 150 infections lead to serious complications affecting the central nervous 60 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,920 system. 61 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:16,680 Protect yourself by wearing appropriate clothing, using insect repellent and eliminating standing 62 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,240 water. 63 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:27,420 In business news, Canada is imposing significant tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles 64 00:05:27,420 --> 00:05:34,400 and steel and aluminum products to protect its growing domestic electric vehicle industry. 65 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:40,520 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a 100 percent tariff on Chinese-made electric 66 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:46,560 vehicles and a 25 percent tariff on steel and aluminum products from China, effective 67 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,060 in early October. 68 00:05:49,060 --> 00:05:53,920 The move follows discussions with President Joe Biden's national security adviser and 69 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:58,160 aims to counter China's unfair trade practices. 70 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:03,200 Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland emphasized that the tariffs would not hinder Canada's 71 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:08,800 mandate for zero-emission vehicles by 2035. 72 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:15,400 In crypto movement, Bitcoin

00:07:20,920 The scientists are on the cusp of unleashing the power of the world's largest battery. 88 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:26,360 A new facility off the Oregon coast could ignite an energy revolution. 89 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:31,920 The U.S. Energy Information Administration reports that theoretical annual energy from 90 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:36,680 U.S. coastal waves is 2 trillion kilowatt hours. 91 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:43,400 Wave energy could account for up to 20% of the U.S. renewable energy mix. 92 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:48,520 Technologies like SeaPower are developing devices to harness this power. 93 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:54,120 PacWave in Newport, Oregon will be the first wave energy testing facility in the continental 94 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,960 U.S. aiming to revolutionize ocean energy. 95 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:08,440 And in entertainment news, Glenn Powell is set to star in a new Wooloo series, Chad Power. 96 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:13,680 Powell's role in this series is a form of redemption after being rejected twice from 97 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,440 cult-favorite drama, Friday Night Lights. 98 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:23,000 In Chad Power's, Powell plays Russ Holliday, a college quarterback who disguises himself 99 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,960 to play for a struggling southern football team. 100 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:32,080 Powell also serves as an executive producer and co-writer for the series. 101 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:37,640 His football skills, showcased in Top Gun, will be highlighted again. 102 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:42,320 The series is based on Eli Manning's docu-series, Eli's Places. 103 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:48,280 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 104 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:54,960 And today, our quote comes from the American investor and philanthropist, Warren Buffett. 105 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:55,960 And he said, 106 00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:03,160 In the 20th century, the United States endured two world wars and other traumatic and expensive 107 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,040 military conflicts. 108 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,720 The Depression, a dozen or so recessions and financial panics. 109 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:10,720 Oil shocks. 110 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,320 A flu epidemic. 111 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,640 And the resignation of a disgraced president. 112 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:22,440 Yet, the Dow rose from 66 to nearly 1,200. 113 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,120 And that's a wrap for this morning. 114 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:31,340 You can
