The multi-billion-dollar question is whether the skills that make
somebody a successful executive, ()entrepreneur or investor in
digital technology also work with green technology. What does a
software (1)guru bring to biofuels? Can you build an electric car in
a garage? The answers may have huge ()implications for the planet.
Mr Khosla, who made his fortune as a co-founder of Sun
Microsystems, a computer-maker, has no doubt that the Silicon
Valley model can succeed in this new field. Partly, that is
because he believes that dramatic change can best be achieved by
()entrepreneurial (2)start-ups, which are not (3)lumbered with the
()incremental outlook of what, in the early days of the internet,
were called “big dumb companies”.
With market risk declining fast, as even the American government
(4)mandates big increases in renewable energy and energy efficiency,
much of the job is coming down to backing the right technology.
Mr Khosla believes that venture capitalists are good at
understanding and managing technology risks, in whatever industry
they are in. Traditional energy companies understand and take on
(5)exploration risk, say, but do not feel comfortable investing in a
new fuel technology with a similar level of risk, he says.
