In April 2008 the ''Power in Europe'' energy industry newsletter foreshadowed that the project may might be blocked as a part of a power sharing agreement between the conservative Christian Democratic Union and the Green Party following the mid-February Hamburg elections. The Greens oppose opposed the project proceeding, which would emit more than 8 million tonnes of Co2 a year. Vattenfall aim to have the project completed by 2012.<ref>[http://www.platts.com/Content/Electric%20Power/Newsletters%20&%20Reports/Power%20in%20Europe/See%20A%20Sample/index.pdf "Moorburg in Jeopardy"], ''Power in Europe'', Issue 523, April 7, 2008, pages 1-2.</ref> Despite opposition, the project has proceeded, though there have been delays to to defective steel.
