Controversy over Solar Power in the California Desert

Barack Obama says the central front against terror is Afghanistan, not Iraq, but the transfer won't be quick, easy or cheap. We hear a rebroadcast of today's To the Point, with a notebook on George Bush's biggest regret as President. In Part II of our program, LA School Superintendent David Brewer talks about the effort to kick him out of his job, and there's controversy over solar power in the desert.

    Barack Obama says the central front against terror is Afghanistan, not Iraq, but the transfer won't be quick, easy or cheap. We hear a rebroadcast of today's To the Point, with a notebook on George Bush's biggest regret as President. In Part II of our program, LAUSD Superintendent David Brewer responds to calls that he step down, and a solar project the size of Inglewood is planned for the Mojave Desert. Will so-called "clean energy" be good for the environment?
