Late Night Talk Show Host's Solution to Nuclear Energy

Japan's tragic events causes one late night comedian some concerns. Mainly, that this kind of powerful energy should not exist. 

David Letterman's fear about nuclear energy worries him enough to bring in physics professor Dr. Michio Kaku to his show to discuss his concerns. Dr. Kaku gives his best and worst-case scenarios for the future of Japan, but neither cases actually calm Letterman.

Letterman asks what can be learned from Japan's example? Dr. Kaku feels that there is an attitude of this "once in a 100-year catastrophe is not going to happen in my lifetime. It will happen in the next lifetime."

But for now in this lifetime, Letterman does not want any nuclear power. He wants to get rid of them.

Watch as he gives his solution involving gang members, and listen to how the audience laughs nervously as he raises his concerns about the Indian Point power plant that sits 25 miles from New York City.
