Michio Kaku voices his solar flare fears on Coast to Coast AM

Physicist Michio Kaku was a guest on George Noory's Coast to Coast AM last night.

Kaku quickly directed the conversation towards his fears over solar activity  He told George Noory that he was disturbed by the size and strength of recent solar flares..

Kaku said that the fear  is one of the flares could hit earth and 'all hell could break loose'..

Kaku said it was a matter of time, mentioning that the last big flare happened 150 years when telegraph wires were shorted out. He mentioned that people in Cuba were reading newspaper at night because the Northern Lights went that far South.

In our modern world, Kaku said the satellites would be fried, power plants could go down, and he said it could be worse than 20 Hurricane Katrinas across the planet.. The scary possibility is more possible as the 'maximum' of solar activity is occurring  The sunspot is like a rifle, Kaku said, and the flares are like bullets. "One of these days one of these solar flares is going to hit the earth," he told George Noory..

Kaku spoke about Congress' inaction in taking advice of physicists on concerning the grid. Kaku worried about nuclear reactors failing and more Fukushima type events happening simultaneously throughout the world.

A part of the chaos Kaku foresees: Food riots, and violence as people realize 'no outside' will be able to help the areas affected by a solar maximum flare.
