Answer:
tropical forests must be cleared to plant oil palms.
Step-by-step explanation:
Renewable energy is also known as clean energy and it can be defined as a type of energy that are generated through natural sources or technology-based processes that are replenished constantly. Some examples of these natural sources are water (hydropower), wind (wind energy), sun (solar power), geothermal, biomass, waves etc.
Basically, a renewable energy source is sustainable and as such can not be exhausted.
Non-renewable energy refer to a type of energy that is generated through artificial sources or that cannot be replenished. It includes coal, natural gas, fossil fuels, petroleum
Many environmental advocates believe that biofuel made from palm oil is not an appropriate replacement for fossil fuels such as petroleum because tropical forests must be cleared to plant oil palms. Palm fruits are region selective plants and as such wouldn't didn't thrive in regions other than tropical forests.
