How much effect will this have on voter day tomorrow? Possibly not much -- with the CDU pulling back fully from any nuclear advocacy in public, they may reassure their own nuclear-uneasy voters enough. But the public pledge to not build new plants even with the still openly pro-nuclear FDP seems to be a change in tone with significance.

Meanwhile, for what it's worth, Germany's Federal Environment Agency released a study on the stability of electricity supply until 2020. In it, they deny the claims of the energy giants, right-wing parties, and the coal wing of the SPD about a supposed energy shortage if nuclear plants are shut down as planned and no more new coal-fired plants are built.
