That is a first in the history of the German Republic. And the latest poll suggests the Greens' regional success is currently reflected nationwide. If the results of Forsa's survey were replicated in national elections, Germany would likely see its first Green chancellor.

"We are witnessing major changes in the opinions of voters," said the Green party chairwoman Claudia Roth. "That has to do with the insecurity spread by the unbelievable flip-flopping of the federal government."

We must solve this problem fast, the aging nukes, the demand for energy make this top priority.
