There's two issues at play that aren't related, and neither is the existence of "red tape", also known as "any degree of regulation".
One is that they're pulling money away from solar, and trying to kill it. That's shit, and they shouldn't. End of issue.
The other is that everyone seems to wince at the notion of actually investing in civic services, and then gets confused about why they take a long time to do stuff and make mistakes. Those other countries where it's easier just spent the money on the government that makes it nice.
Refusing to fund the government because it doesn't work well, then removing regulations because the government is slow to enforce them is a cyclic libertarian and Republican trope.
