Vinod Khosla, Drinking The Ethanol
Vinod is at it again. Besides his own VC firm, he’s also urging Californians to endorse clean energy. Turning agricultural waste into fuel makes good sense to me as does reducing the country’s dependency on foreign energy sources.
Mr Khosla is particularly enthused by “cellulosic” ethanol, a highly efficient way of making fuel from agricultural waste. President Bush touted this new technology in his recent state-of-the-union speech, suggesting that it may come to market in six years. In typically impatient form, Mr Khosla wants to halve that gestation period. Anyone who spends time with him is liable to be hit with his well-researched but mind-numbing PowerPoint presentation on ethanol—unveiled with the affection that some men reserve for pictures of their grandchildren.
