What greenwashing? We had a government that was actively dragging its feet and, in many ways, hindering progress. You can call that greenwashing, I would describe it as paying lip service to transformation while doing little to get ahead and also hindering progress in certain places when things got difficult. It never felt very virtue-signaly to me, though. I‘m all in favor of (critically) giving this new government at least a couple of years until we measure to what extent they were able to clean up that mess. This, for example, is a necessary step because many of the states have been actively hindering wind power expansion with overly broad regulation. That‘s why wind power expansion fell off a cliff during the last couple of years. Whether this measure can change that I do not know, but that’s the relevant background and with that context it makes sense why this is happening now.
