AI justification

Co-firing plan enables prolonged coal use and deforestation, violating climate and biodiversity goals. | While the co-firing plan superficially aligns with climate goals, its primary effect is to prolong coal dependence and exacerbate deforestation, creating net harm. The negative impacts on emissions, biodiversity, and indigenous rights outweigh the marginal benefits of biomass use, undermining multiple SDGs and planetary boundaries.
