On January 1, California joins the ranks of states that pay homeowners for the excess solar electricity they generate. The new laws -- which were bitterly protested by many private utilities -- are expected to give a major boost to the state's solar power industry. As homes become mini power plants, how is the nature of our state's power supply changing?

  The Palestinian-Israeli peace: Substance over Progress
  The programs speaker is Maen Areikat, chief representative of the Palestine Liberation Organization Mission to the United States. He joins the program to discuss recent developments in the Middle East peace process and to look at the opportunities and challenges for a Palestinian state. President Obama has demonstrated a renewed commitment and urgency to solving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and much has been happening. Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad recently released an outline to create a Palestinian state by 2011 through internal institution building. Meanwhile, tensions between Hamas and Fatah still remain. Reconciliation talks have floundered, and new elections are scheduled for 2010. Mr. Areikat recently returned from Bethlehem where Fatah held its first party conference in 20 years, and elected a mostly new leadership committee.
