Air date: May 28, 2011

Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan delivered a speech at the beginning of the G8 summit, in an attempt to convince world leaders that the country has charted a course for recovery. The heads of state were anxious for an explanation of why Japan's nuclear safety policies failed and what will be done. The Prime Minister set forth a new energy policy, with an emphasis on using renewable resources. We'll report on what that shift of policy might involve, including solar and geothermal power generation.
