>>the california sea otter. though they appear cute and cuddly, these 4-5 foot long creatures are actually voracious predators, they need to eat nearly continually to support their extremely high metabolism. they eat a wide variety of sea life much of which comes in shells - they use tools, stones to crack open tough shellfish. they spend almost all their time in the water - they even sleep there wrapped up in kelp. when they do leave the water they're extremely clumsy - those feet are made for swimming. unlike other sea mammals they lack blubber and it's their fur and the air trapped in their fur that keeps them warm and afloat. that's critical, because the pacific is cold! well our good friends here at point lobos have some pelts out here that they use for education purposes and it gets us a chance to see up close how dense the hair is on a sea otter. not only how dense but how soft. take a look at that! a single square inch of that otter's fur may contain 400,000 hairs. i've heard up to a million hairs per sq

>>california! where better to talk diversity! >>♪music. >>there's more than just a diversity of faces in california. this is our most bio-diverse state - ridiculously so! there are over 5,860 different types of plants here, 2,153 of them are endemic - they are found nowhere else. add to this over 540 birds, 214 mammals, 77 reptiles, 47 amphibians, 83 fish...and, well, you get the picture! why? the state is big - it's huge! but there are small places here where diversity is really high. it's more than size. to begin to answer the question we travel to one of these diverse corners, torrey pines state reserve, just outside of san diego. so here are some really local statistics. right here in san diego county we have three million people. that makes it the fifth most populated county in the united states. in fact, three million people makes it larger than the population of 20 out of the 50 states. all these people share this place, these 2.7 million acres that make up san diego county with 2,300 species of plants. 2,300 species that makes san

california has never passed a stand your ground law. but the same principal has been on the books in california. put there decades ago through various rulings. in self-defense cases jurors are required to be read: a person can defend himself and pursue an assailant even if safety could have been achieve by retreating. >> you have that right. that interpretation became a part of the law. >> reporter: one big difference between the way they handle the cases is proceduressal. florida allow as judge to decide whether it was justified. california require as trial and a jury to make that decision. >> although the nation was watching florida there are cases in florida and all across the nation of self-defense, maybe not every day, but it is a typical defense. >> reporter: two months after the george zimmerman case started a similar case happened in sacramento. he was shot and killed by a man who claimed self-defense. the man was detained but prosecutors never filed charges. >> it is very difficult in some cases of self-defense for the prosecut

just in california you have some cities that charge 1800 bucks for a permit for somebody to put solar on their roof. we have to fight that. there are soft costs. we can bring that down. from the small incremental step to the long march in getting it done, those are all the elements that you have to deal with. and there are some pauses, sometimes things plateau. i know some utilities feel we have enough for 33 and a third percent which is our state goal. we have to find other states. we've got to get other people putting out that 33% renewable standard. we've got to get -- and we do, we have a law in california encouraging storage because we can't just rely on the sunlight.
