AI justification

Systemic fossil fuel lock-in in grids and policies undermines renewable progress despite capacity gains. | While renewable energy capacity is rapidly expanding, systemic inertia in grids, investments, and policies perpetuates fossil fuel dependence. This creates a critical bottleneck that undermines climate action despite technological progress, violating the principle of proportional systemic change required by SDG 7 and 13.
