More quotes by Vinod Khosla
The willingness to fail gives us the freedom to succeed.
Vinod Khosla
For electric power generation, we are very optimistic about solar-thermal technology, and we’re intrigued by the potential of enhanced geothermal energy to replace coal-based power generation. Traditional carbon capture and sequestration-based coal power generation is somewhat unlikely to be competitive.

My willingness to fail gives me the ability to succeed.

Will biofuel usage require land? Absolutely, but we think the ability to use winter cover crops, degraded land, as well as using sources such as organic waste, sewage, and forest waste means that actual land usage will be limited. Just these sources can replace most of our imported oil by 2030 without touching new land.

Vinod Khosla
Every big problem is a big opportunity.
Vinod Khosla
We don't need a fuel that's cleaner, we need a fuel that happens to be cleaner, but is half the price of oil.
Vinod Khosla
As for companies invested in the space - I think its important to distinguish between a good investment and a material climate change technology - you can have the first without the second, even in the clean tech space.
Vinod Khosla
We humans think linearly but tech trends are exponential.
Vinod Khosla
The right way to build a company is to experiment in lots of small ways, so that you have plenty of room to make mistakes and change strategies.
Vinod Khosla
Communication always changes society, and society was always organized around communication channels. Two hundred years ago it was mostly rivers. It was sea-lanes and mountain passes. The Internet is another form of communication and commerce. And society organizes around the channels.

Doctors can be replaced by software – 80% of them can. I’d much rather have a good machine learning system diagnose my disease than the median or average doctor.
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.

Big data will replace the need for 80% of all doctors
