Lancaster's Solar Leadership

Would if we were required to put solar panels on our roofs. It's about to happen in Lancaster, where new law mandates solar roofing on all new residential construction.

The city of Lancaster, in the Antelope Valley, basks in sun for a good portion of the year. Now it's become the first city in the nation to mandate that homeowners take advantage of all that sun with solar roofing. Guest host Tess Vigeland speaks with the city's mayor tonight and asks how he's planning to make it affordable for residents. Also, more endorsements in the Los Angeles mayoral race, and more heartbreak along the Southern California coastline where sick sea lion pups continue to wash ashore.

On our rebroadcast of today's To the Point, Google promises to "do no evil," but now Google is everywhere. Warren Olney asks, is Google Glass going too far?
