the state is $3.75 in fresno. the highest price is $3.86 her gallon. i'll let you guess which coastal city that would be. san francisco. >> san francisco, yeah. prototype aircraft powered solely by the sun successfully made the first demonstration flight. yesterday, the solar impulse flew for 20 minutes at the 2011 paris air show. this contraption is powered by the sun through 10,000 solar cells on the wings, which generate 40 horsepower. that is about the same power a small scooter uses. in another flight, the plane took five hours to travel from brussels to paris. and another 11 hours circling over the airport, waiting for wind conditions to settle down. so it could safely land. so it's not the speediest thing in the air, but it's kind of a proof of concept that you can -- >> yeah. the fact it can fly in the air, 40 horsepower. >> stay up there. >> awesome. for planes coming in to sfo today, looking at this, you might think delays. >> you think so, but they

experiment in school. put two waters in h2o and "h" comes out of one side and the "o" out of the other. it's not very efficient. it takes more energy to do this than you get back out of gases. using a solar panel is better but still inefficient. until you put the solar panel in the water. now you're cooking with gas. >> but for just a minute. the oxygen in the water soon eats away the photo cells showing up as the blue spots. >> if it's not protected we found they last tens of minutes at best. >> so chintzy, with grad students jop that and vincent borrowed clever technology from computer chip makers. >> my colleague mcintyre took technique from semi-conductor industry atomic layer deposition and put thin but uniform layer of titanium dioxide on surface. >> just a few atoms thick. the way that intel does on theed a vanced ---ed a vanced chips.

that did the trick. more development is needed before it's commercialized. >> this is one piece of what would be a system for generating solar-based fuels. >> it appears we'll be able to pump solar energy to fuel tankses. isn't that a gas? with the next step in energy, richard hart, abc7 news. 6:25. still ahead at 6:30 -- union city police investigate a crime hot spot in their city. last night's violence there makes three incidents in less than a year. >> and flooded north dakota city looks to recovery from unstoppable natural disaster. >> the u.s. supreme court will issue a decision today on who can buy violent video games. california state law says minors shouldn't be allowed to. but what about the first amendment? the issue straight ahead. >> a good news, bad news. bad news, flight arrival delays in sfo. good news, 20 minutes. that's not too bad. all right. the only one across the country, but more will develop and the flight

scheduled a news conference this morning to react to the decision. he says he is cautiously optimistic the judges will "help protect our children from the harmful effect of ultra violent video games." they struck down the law claiming it violates the first amendment free speech rights. lawyers for the state say it's similar to past misguided efforts to protect children from comic book, music and movies. attorney for the state of california argues that states should be able to ban sale of video games to children just as they restrict sale of pornography. the supreme court justices seemed closely split when they heard the argument in november. some argue they need help protecting children from the violent games and others seemed reluctant to carve out exception to the first amendment. they waited until the last minute to decide. this is the last day of their session. more than 46 million american households have at least one video game system. the industry pulled in about

♪ ♪ >> 25 years ago when tom cruise's haircut was state-of-the-art, everything maverick needed to know was on the dash-mounted heads-up display. it was very useful. but you had to be looking straight ahead. flash forward to today where the first time in decades the pentagon newest fighter won't have a heads-up display. >> today's pilot has information center. within the cockpit. and what we do is we now make that information flow directly to the pilot eyes. so you never have to look inside. >> san jose based vision system international has made helmet-mounted information centers for 15 years. the one i'm wearing is for the current f-18 hornet

fighter. looking through it, you can turn your head any direction with key information like altitude, air speed and radar tracking projected on the visor. but this helmet, for the f-35 fighter is a quantum leap ahead. >> he can pull up the radar system and electroaperture system and freeze it in different point in space. >> translated to english, do you remember the computer in the movie "minority report"? cops could grab images, move them around, freeze them on one side and come back to them? with the helmet, the pilot can do much the same with the eyes, including walking on to enemy fighter and firing a missile. he can data link with other aircraft to see what they are looking at. the system costs $140,000. since the air force, navy and marine corps are all buying the airplane, that could mean significant numbers sold. the success of unmanned drone aircraft point to a future with few and maybe no

manned fighters. >> everybody says f-35 is going to be the last, you know, manned fighter aircraft for the foreseeable future. we have applications for helmets for even drone use. >> so a helmet for drone operators would work in the same manner to allow them to scan skies for hundreds of miles around. since drones are remote control, the operator and the mel -- helmet won't have to be on the same continent. this morning, pakistani intelligence officials say drop-fired missiles hit a pick-up truck in northwestern pakistan killing eight alleged militants. they say it occurred in an area hit twice before by suspected u.s. drones in recent months. all right. well, today, the supreme court will decide who is right about banning violent video games in a case that started here in california.

>> amy hollyfield has more. >> i am hearing opinion on the facebook and twitter pages. the law banning minors from buying violent video games has been struck down saying it violates free speech rights but the lawyers for california took it to the u.s. supreme court to say states can restrict sale of pornography so why not video games that are violent? leland yee authored the bill in 2005 and said he's optistic about today's ruling. he said children should be protected and parents should have the tool to keep them from the harmful effects of ultraviolet video games. supreme court justices seemed split in november when they heard the argument. some seemed hesitant to carve out the exception to the first amendment and others argued parents need help protecting their kids. well, they weighed in on the twitter page and one said this is not a -- this is a family issue, not a government issue. pardon me, nathan. peggy court on facebook says

she believes children's lives have gone downhill because of violent video games. the u.s. supreme court will have the time say today. live in the newsroom, amy hollyfield, abc7 news. >> definitely interesting debate going on there. amy, thanks a lot. >> mike will have the final say in weather in this newscast. sir? >> we have low clouds causing 20-minute flight arrival delays in sfo. check out the flight tracker at abc7news.com. clouds are hanging around the bay and to the coast. keeping us in the 50s. 60 right now in antioch. by the afternoon hours we have sunshine in the peninsula coast to keep you in low to mid-60s in downtown san francisco. 67 in richmond. 70 in oakland. mid-to-upper 70s in bay shore and south bay. upper 70 to low 80s in north bay. low to mid-80s east bay valley. rain rolls in tomorrow. the best chance to see anything measurable is in the north bay. danielle? >> check the bay bridge toll plaza. metering lights are off. traffic moves well making your way across the upper
