For this reason, although many of Czisch's dreams are related to or wrapped up in what has now come to be known as Desertec megaproject, he is still very critical of the current 400 billion dollar project. This is because it totally neglects wind energy, which he saw as being an even cheaper source of energy than solar energy for many parts of the European continent.

According to Felix Rohrbeck, who wrote a recent article in DIE ZEIT newspaper on Czisch and his research activies, entitled "The Uncompromising Visionary", Gregor Czisch had celebrated his dissertation a few years ago with a toast in which he said, "The proof that an intercontinental regenerative energy network can take care of Europe is at hand. Now, it is up to the politicians and the economists to get to work [on the project.]"
Rohrbeck then notes, "But, they [governments and economic leaders] are giving themselves a lot of time."
Besides being uncompromising with the facts, his dissertation advisor Dr. Juergen Schmid, notes that Czisch cannot be bribed into accepting the party line. For example, after his promotion, Schmid had helped get the new Dr. Czisch a seat on a government committee to work on environmental policy in Germany a few years back. Czisch claimed the figures the committee were using were inaccurate. Soon, Czisch found himself again out of work.
Hey, Planet Earth, does anyone want to hire this guy? I think the earth needs more uncompromising visionaries, don't you?
