Are you alluding to Baden-Württenberg PM Oettinger's criticism of Steinmeier for opining on stuff he lacks expertise in? :-)

But, Koch's change of rhetoric is not to be underestimated: it's the first time I hear a CDU figure talk of 100% renewables! It's as if he said, "OK, Ypsilanti and Scheer were right in saying 100% renewables is possible, but not in 10-15 but 40 years".

Hadn't realized your take on Koch.  Hard to say whether it's a positive step or not, as the effect over the next few years to a decade would be the same.  The job has to be done now, with no competing distractions.

Well, it's a change of rhetoric - it signals a weakened position, and could be used against him in the future. Sadly, if CDU+FDP will reign come October, the job won't be done now...
