An entrepreneur is someone who dares to dream the dreams and is foolish enough to try to make those dreams come true.

Now it will take a long time to scale biofuels, but I'm the only one in the world forecasting oil dropping in price to $35 a barrel by 2030. I'll put it on the record: Oil will not be able to compete with cellulosic biofuels. If you do it from food, the food will get so expensive you can't make fuel out of it.

Any problem is an opportunity. The bigger the problem, the bigger the opportunity.

My willingness to fail gives me the ability to succeed.

Spreadsheets are fiction. Believing in what you're doing and what you're building is what's important.
Vinod Khosla
The world is hung up on food-based biofuels. Not only are they the wrong thing, they're the uneconomic thing.
Vinod Khosla
I don’t mind the low probability of success, but it better be impactful if we do succeed.

Oil replacements and then efficiencies in engines and housing and the way we build houses is a very interesting market.

No one will pay you to solve a non-problem.

There are parts of the country in America, in the Midwest, where wind is a big resource, and we should absolutely use it. But to try and apply it nationally doesn't make sense. There are technologies that will work that are appropriate to certain regions.
Vinod Khosla
Startups allow technologists and scientists to take risks and change plans in a way that would be frowned upon in a big company. Having said that, big companies will play a key role in certain areas and in partnerships with little companies. Each has its strengths.
