I think the Greens are preparing for a major overhaul...Fischer likely walks away into retirement...and a new group comes out over the next two years. You can see that the Greens have peaked out...they haven't signed up any big new numbers. And a few hardline Greens have hurt their image in public. It'll be interesting to watch the nuclear powerplant episode open back up under CDU...and possible new plants discussed. I'm sure that will invite a Green war of some type.
The seemingly inexorable upward movement of crude prices just about guarantees widespread and strong support for nuclear plants in Germany, particularly a revival of the pebble bed architecture pioneered there, and now being developed in South Africa and explored in Japan (of all places).
