some people would say that investors like you and john doerr made a mistake by going too far into this. what have you learned from it and what is your response to that? vinod: clean tech is an important area. climate change is an important risk. now i view climate change no different than i view homeland security, nuclear proliferation, terrorism. they are all risks society faces. we should insure against that. now, how much of our gdp do we spend insuring against foreign attacks, national defense, homeland security? we should treat climate change the same way. it is a business decision on how much insurance to buy. we should encourage new competitive technologies to come up and then stop supporting them when they get to a certain size. it is time to stop supporting wind. maybe even solar, the subsidies should start to decline. emily: really? vinod: we have done ok in clean technology. we probably have six companies that could be worth $1 billion still. i would rather try and fail then fail to try something that is really important. emily: it is clear that you are caring deeply about t

he appointed john doerr them to investigate torture by the cia and the pentagon to determine if there were any statutory violations. what happened at the durham years and never produced a public report. so the public learned nothing. amy: what about an independent commission or a select committee? >> i think that would have been a good idea several months ago if you could get bipartisan support for it. but at this point, it is not clear you could ever get bipartisan support. remember, to create an independent commission, you need legislation passed by both houses of congress and signed by the president. then you have to appoint commissioners. then they have to hire a staff. i mean, you know, that could drive this thing on even longer. i think the top priority ought to be pretty committees and now that the house seems to be completely sidetracked, the senate really has obligation here to move quickly, hold public hearings, call witnesses before -- you know, to testify in open session under oath, and see if we can get some answers to these basic questions about whether or not there was
