Gore has done nothing worthy of such an accolade.

re..Gore.. 'What has he done to change the world for the 1.3 billion Chinese? Or the 1.0 billion Indians?' just sm potatoes.. but "According to Vincent Cerf, a senior vice president with MCI Worldcom who's been called the Father of the Internet, "The Internet would not be where it is in the United States without the strong support given to it and related research areas by the Vice President in his current role and in his earlier role as Senator." The inventor of the Mosaic Browser, Marc Andreesen, credits Gore with making his work possible. He received a federal grant through Gore's High Performance Computing Act. The University of Pennsylvania's Dave Ferber says that without Gore the Internet "would not be where it is today." Joseph E. Traub, a computer science professor at Columbia University, claims that Gore "was perhaps the first political leader to grasp the importance of networking the country. Could we perhaps see an end to cheap shots from politicians and pundits about inventing the Internet?"

I don't know if he's done India. He's been working the Chinese. They must be listening. Message 22635996 worldwatch.org CHINA has emerged as the world's largest solar market -- and manufacturing base -- through a renewable energy law requiring every new building to include solar hot water heating units. Meanwhile, Canada, once a world leader in the development of solar resources, is almost entirely out of the loop -- with only four solar manufacturers compared to 10,000 in CHINA. Message 22866408
