>> reporter: nationwide, solar power is the fastest growing form of renewable energy, but still accounts for only 5% of electricity generated. in california, it's nearly 30% thanks to massive new projects like this one in the mojave desert. its two million panels near edwards air force base can be seen from space. these are all full of batteries? >> they're all full of batteries, as many as we can put in them. >> reporter: gus luna is chief development officer for terra gen, which built the more than 4,000 acre site, now the largest solar storage facility in the country, enough to power about a quarter million homes. >> this really is what is going the make renewable energy work? >> correct. without this, i think renewable energy would hit a limit fairly quickly. >> reporter: california, the fifth largest economy in the world aims to run on 100% renewable energy by 2045. >> you'll probably need something like 20, maybe 30s more of these projects to be able to reach that. >> reporter: because to truly make all those panels and

nudge whoever is beside you at the theater? >> oh, yeah, sure. why not? >> reporter: while dees typically works off photographs, occasionally he's had to do a bit of posing himself. >> i had to paint a portrait of benjamin franklin for "time" magazine. and i was having trouble working from the existing portraits of him. so i ultimately wound up using myself as a model, because unfortunately, i share the same hairline as benjamin franklin. >> reporter: deas has painted six "times" covers. he did magician david blaine's autobiography, but he keeps coming back to stamps. it is lucrative? >> no. definitely not. and that's why i do it because it feels like an honor i've been asked to do something. i consider it a privilege. >> reporter: for dees, the stamps are a way to go beyond the gallery and get miniature works of art into as many hands as possible. >> i try to make every stamp as

beautiful as i can, because i think a good stamp, you will notice it. it is not strictly a functional item. if it's done well, it's a little beautiful note on the outside of an envelope, and it becomes something beautiful. >> that was conner knighton reporting. and that's today's "cbs news roundup." tune in later for "cbs mornings," and follow us online any time at cbsnews.com. reporting from the cbs news broadcast center in new york city, i'm carissa lawson. hello and thanks for staying up with us. i'm carissa lawson in new york. here are some of the stories we're tracking on "cbs news roundup." president biden's campaign face

the day, but they close at night and people have to go elsewhere. centerpoint energy says they reached their goal of restoring power to more than one million customers. full restoration to more than a million other customers? that could take weeks. omar villafranca, cbs news, houston, texas. testimony got under way in new mexico wednesday in the involuntary manslaughter trial for actor alec baldwin. it stems from that deadly shooting on the set of his western movie "rust." cbs' elise preston reports from santa fe. . >> he pointed the gun at another human being. >> reporter: high drama as prosecutors laid out their case against actor alec baldwin. >> the evidence will show that someone who played make-believe with a real gun and violated the cardinal rules of firearms safety is the defendant, alexander baldwin. >> reporter: baldwin listened intently, taking notes as his family looked on during opening statements. >> it was just a prop. the gun has to be safe before it

gets into the actor's hands. >> movie set safety rules require actors like the defendant to never point a firearm at another person. >> no one had any idea that this venomous, toxic element had been inserted into this magic they were creating, but id did, and it changed lives forever. >> reporter: jurors saw video from the crucial moments after cinematographer halyna hutchins was gravely wounded. >> open your eyes for me. >> reporter: baldwin has maintained his innocence, saying he never pulled the trigger. his defense attorney put all the blame on those in charge of firearms on the film set, using the one phrase that could become crucial to this case. >> the prop gun was placed in mr. baldwin's hands and cold gun was announced. >> when you heard the word "cold gun" as an actor, it's not only that you don't expect a live round, but you expect no round.

>> reporter: the gun used was also introduced into evidence. the jury was very attentive and took notes throughout the day. if convicted, baldwin faces up to 18 months in prison. elise preston, cbs news, santa fe, new mexico. when "cbs news roundup" continues, two planes that appear to be on a collision course in the skies over syracuse, new york. up next, we'll show you just how close they actually came. around adhd there is tremendous ignorance. most people are not aware of the positives. can't sit still, disorganized, can't focus.

hospitals rushing to move their patients. israel's military says medical facilities do not need to move, but its raids at other hospitals have left medical staff fearful. hamas, said the new assault, could reset the negotiation process to square one, despite israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, agreeing to send a delegation to restart ceasefire talks. does benjamin netanyahu want a ceasefire? >> no. >> reporter: al lon pinkas is a former adviser to four israeli foreign ministers and an outspoken critic of prime minister netanyahu. by agreeing to continue ceasefire negotiations, is netanyahu kind of throwing a bone to the u.s., just kind of going through the motions? >> no, he is just taking them for a ride. he has been doing so for the better part of last nine month, and he has been doing so with immunity and impunity. >> reporter: some also argue that hamas is not seriously

committed to negotiating a ceasefire. meanwhile, the pier that the u.s. military built in gaza to bring in aid and that has been plagued by bad weather will likely be reestablished this week, but could then be permanently dismantled according to u.s. officials. >> that was holly williams reporting. reporting. and this is "cbs news strong enamel is your best defense against acid erosion and cavities. that's why i recommend the pronamel active shield because it will strengthen your enamel and create that shield around it. i'm excited for this product. i think patients are really going to like it.
