Here are four of the top stories today in San Diego:

1. It’s San Diego’s most spectacular show. It’s the 2022 Miramar Air Show, and it begins today! “It’s been almost three years since MCAS Miramar was able to open its doors to our neighbors and share in our love of aviation, and I am extremely excited to be able to do so once again,” said commanding officer of Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Col. Thomas M. Bedell. "We are proud to call America’s Finest City home and bring back one of the world’s most anticipated aviation exhibitions.” Admission, parking, and blanket seating are free. It’s a spectacular show — don’t miss it! To learn more: Click into parenthesis, then click the link. (CBS News 8)
2. It’s a move in the right direction. The Navy will generate Low Carbon Fuel Standard credits when ships plug into shore power. This would limit greenhouse gases for local neighborhoods. “This is a win-win. We are proud to be working with the Navy on this and look forward to cleaner air and improved public health for all who live, work, and play on and around San Diego Bay,” said Port of San Diego Board of Port Commissioners Chairman Dan Malcolm. The partnership will continue through 2030. The goal is to improve air quality and improve the electric infrastructure. To learn more: Click into parenthesis, then click the link. (Patch)
