 Concentrating Solar Power without Solar Cells is proven nonsence, since Concentrating Solar Power with Solar Cells is much better. The second competes with conventional power plants, the first can not.    

 If it is ""proven"" please include quotes... Desertec cites severals studies which prove the technical feasibility (med-csp, trans-csp...)   

 Who benefits from this?  
 What about Environmental issues!?!? Surely this has an impact on the african land!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by     

 Desertec is an act of modern imperial colonization that looks upon the asset wealth of a neighbour with a jealous eye and seeks to possess that wealth for itself. In Hitler's book Mein Kampf, he detailed his belief that the German people needed Lebensraum (""living space"", i.e. land and raw materials), and that it should be found in Eastern Europe. How disgusting and ironic is it that Germany would think to create a solar powered oven to steal from Africans.  

 The only good thing about this project is that it will fail. It will fail because there is no way that planet earth is going to let Europeans, especially German Europeans, march into Africa AGAIN and loot it for its land, labour and assets. No doubt that post will be classified as vandalism. How ironic, given that Lebensraum is the greatest modern cause of inter-cultural violence and and that 'The Vandals' were an East Germanic tribe who in 429 under king Genseric entered Africa and by 439 established a kingdom which included the Roman Africa province.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by
