It's Earth Day, when we rededicate ourselves to protecting the environment, to taking shorter showers, and to using public transportation. But sometimes the fixes aren't so cut and dried. This week, California air quality officials are considering relaxing emission regulations on diesel trucks, the worst air pollution offenders left in the state. Guest hosts Barbara Bogaev hears the pros and cons. Also, Los Angeles magazine has picked the 75 best restaurants in the city and you’ve just got to try them.

Later on To the Point, Warren Olney looks at the political debate over the delayed Keystone XL Pipeline project and how it might impact midterm elections.
