Southern California's largest single source of electricity has been shut down. What will it cost to "decommission" two reactors at the San Onofre Nuclear Power plant? How safe is the process? Where will the power for 1.5 million homes come from now? Also, legislators call for investigation into sterilizations in prison, and after 36 years, the Voyager I is about to go where no spacecraft has gone before.

On our rebroadcast of today's To the Point, the move to legalize same-sex marriage was moving faster than the most optimistic supporters expected until US Supreme Court rulings two weeks ago. Did the court accelerate the process, as many advocates have concluded or did it apply the brakes?
