Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Interestingly, according to the taz, Black-Green is currently the pre-occupation of Özdemir and his circle only and the other leaders (even Gauck fan Trittin, to my surprise) were violently against, as a lesson from the Berlin debacle. That doesn't change the fact that they drifted rather far to the right on the economy and at least superficiality eigns regarding Gauck, however. On the other hand, I won't trust even the Left Party to do the Greens' part on the environment, see the issue of brown coal.

Don't wish to hijack this important diary, but perhaps we're about to see how energy and environmental policy will affect the next state and federal elections.

The Bundeskabinett today came out with the new regs on the EEG, which on the surface seem to affect wind as well as solar. The Bundesverband Windenergie E.V. headlined their press statement, "Federal Government Torpedoes It's Own Energy Transition."

We'll see what happens if the Pirates decided to champion renewables, and if the Greens begin to see the reality of their black hopes.
