Vinod Khosla, Risk Junkie

[​IMG]I haven’t been much of a cleantech bull in the past, at least when it comes to venture capital investing. I think it’s a huge market, and there’s clearly a pressing social need. I just don’t quite think the science, government cooperation and economics are there yet for it to be a great opportunity for classic venture investing.Sure there’s low-hanging fruit, and the outliers like #-Link-Snipped-# who had the cojones to invest $70 million of his own money into building an electric car company. But a huge boom producing several multi-billion winners? Not yet, IMHO.But Vinod Khosla greatly disagrees with me, and, frankly, you should listen to him, because he’s a lot smarter.
