i am now really confused. is palm oil good, or bad?!

someone explain!

Answer 1

Renewable resources as an alternative to petroleum might be good in some respects, but solar and wind energy will ultimately win out.  There are other sources like wave energy that have yet to be developed, too.  When the global economy based on oil causes enough pain, the world will change.

Answer 2

If they cut down thee rainforest to grow it it is bad.
