Wissing to be honest. The transport sector is the only one to miss the target badly. Funnily enough 15billion€ is about as much as is currently missing to fix up the German railway network. As in fix it, not expand it.

Lindner trying to keep the Schuldenbremse no matter what doesn't help either. Spending money on fighting climate change now could mitigate some of the climate change damages in future, but I guess it's more important to save every possible cent now... 🤷
