"Slashing red tape" and "ditch the disaster the Greens implemented in regards to energy policy" are two separate items in that list, I think. In other words, it doesn't help that they slashed red tape for their energy policy projects.

Especially since their slashing red tape for energy policy projects didn't even help the energy policy projects in any way. They intended and announced an uptick e.g. in onshore wind projects which just didn't happen. One thing is that they didn't slash all the red tape, just symbolic amounts. The other thing is that there is no investment because all the rest of the economy is in the toilet and people and investors hold on to their money.

My company happens to be active in this neck of the woods and I assure you, the acceleration is significant. It is just that things are still running on time-scales that are still incomprehensible for the general population. We are talking about slicing off 50% time but in the end this means cutting projects down from 10 to 5 years.
I'm, however, with you in the matter of public investment. The Schuldenbremse needs to go.
I'm an entrepreneur myself and there is still a lot of red tape I'd rather get rid off, but the last four years saw a lot of movement and were really good in this regard. If anything I would hope that any new government keeps up the pace!
