Nuclear Terrorism-A Reality of Our World

U.S. President Barack Obama has opened the 47-nation Nuclear Security Summit in Washington with a warning about the potential of nuclear terrorism. The president says al-Qaida and other terrorist groups are trying to acquire nuclear material, and must be stopped.
"Two decades after the end of the Cold War, we face a cruel irony of history: The risk of a nuclear confrontation between nations has gone down, but the risk of nuclear attack has gone up," Mr. Obama said.
This year's meeting is expected to end with a joint declaration to guide work in preventing terror groups and criminal gangs from getting access to nuclear material. Mr. Obama says that is a first step toward his long-term goal of ridding the world of nuclear weapons.
These threats of nuclear terrorism can only suggest to all of us that nuclear power is not the answer to future energy needs. The threat of terrorists and what to do with nuclear waste are enough to turn our heads away from nuclear power.
We know fossil fuels are also are not the answer for future energy needs. Alternate energy sources such as solar and wind power can help us meet future energy needs for our world.
If you add up all the solar energy that the earth receives in just one year, you would end up with twice as much energy then you could ever get from all of the coal, uranium, oil, and natural gas resources. We need to use as much as we can of these free energy sources.
