The economy in the southwest sees light and shadow in the coalition agreement between the SPD, Greens and FDP.
It is positive that the traffic lights are aiming for a “decade of investments”, but doubts about the financial feasibility are appropriate, according to the Association of Entrepreneurs Baden-Württemberg on Wednesday evening in Stuttgart.
"More speed in modernizing the country is the right thing to do and is supported in principle by the economy in the southwest," declared the managing directors Peer-Michael Dick and Wolfgang Wolf.
Stuttgart / Berlin - The investment program planned by the SPD, Greens and FDP and the planned halving of the duration of planning and approval procedures could trigger an important investment boost in Baden-Württemberg as well.
But it remains unclear where the money will come from.
The goals for the expansion of renewable energies are also very ambitious.
By 2030, the Ampel-Coalition wants to cover 80 percent of the electricity supply from renewable energies.
At the same time, a faster coal phase-out is being sought.
"The security of supply at the industrial location Baden-Württemberg could be jeopardized here," warned Wolf.
"The energy transition must not become a blackout for industry."
