“We’re in a crisis, and there is an opportunity to reinvent our energy infrastructure; it would be a folly to waste it.”
I [Eric Wesoff] wrote a mildly
antagonistic profile of star investor Vinod Khosla last week as part
of our "Green Kingpins" series. Mr. Khosla responded with a well-thought-out
and reasonable rebuttal, which we print here in its entirety.
To
review the issues you raised:
Mr.
Khosla is somewhat of a contrarian and can always be counted on to say
something that doesn't agree with the conventional wisdom. Actually
sometimes he says things that don't agree with things he's said.
Absolutely -- especially the latter line. I've always maintained that all forecasts
are wrong -- including mine, as I stated at the ARPA-E conference
last week. The ability to learn from mistakes is an importantone.
That being said, I think the examples you cite do not meet the threshold
of disagreeing with myself.
