The world is hung up on food-based biofuels. Not only are they the wrong thing, they're the uneconomic thing.

Where most entrepreneurs fail is on the things they don't know they don't know.
Vinod Khosla
Success comes to those that dare to dream dreams and are foolish enough to try and make them come true.
Vinod Khosla
You have to invent the future you want.
Vinod Khosla
Every big problem is a big opportunity.
Vinod Khosla
Entrepreneurs have the flexibility and the ability to do things that large companies simply cannot. Could a large company pull off a trick like Amyris, going from anti-malaria medicine to next-generation fuel?
Vinod Khosla
I do not know what got me interested in technology. What was very clear to me very early on was that I was not interested in religion and that naturally increased my curiosity about science and technology, and I fundamentally believe the two are conflicting.
Vinod Khosla
I don’t mind failing, but if I succeed it better be worth succeeding for.
Vinod Khosla
Certain food-based biofuels like biodiesel have always been a bad idea. Others like corn ethanol have served a useful purpose and essentially are obsoleting themselves.
