Internet revolution that elected Obama could save Earth: Gore
AFP
Published: Saturday November 8, 2008

Former US vice president Al Gore said an Internet revolution carrying Barack Obama to the White House should now focus its power on stopping Earth's climate crisis.

The one-time presidential contender turned environmental champion told Web 2.0 Summit goers in San Francisco Friday that technology has provided tools to save the planet while creating jobs and stimulating the crippled economy.

"The young people who have been inspired by Barack Obama's campaign and the movement that powered Barack Obama's campaign want a purpose," Gore said.

"One of the reasons we were all thrilled Tuesday night is it was pretty obvious this was a collectively intelligent decision."

And I love him too.

"would not have been possible without the additional empowerment of individual to use knowledge as a source of power."

He's talking about US, we net users, we bloggers. Spreading information, circulating truth.
