Germany reminds me of the FAA, you can deign and build rockets faster than the bureaucracy to get it approved.

Permitting and approval processes for renewable energy projects can be excruciatingly slow and convoluted, which not only discourages investment, but also hampers the country's ability to harness its renewable potential effectively.

However, Germany is now losing ground, as the combination of high energy costs and the slow transition to renewable energy have forced industrial suppliers to use alternative methods to stabilize their energy supply; for instance, the biochemical firm Evonik kept coal furnaces running for an extra few months upon request from the German government.
