Refined palm oil is being used to replace diesel oil in trucks and railroad engines.
Yes, this is a renewable energy source.
Yes, it burns with about the same energy efficiency, pollution and were on engines as diesel.
However, the destruction of primeval forests by slash and burn for the planting of oil palm trees, is killing off some of the most endangered animals in the world.
The foremost of these is the Orangutan and the leaf eating monkey in Sumatra along with the Sumatran Tiger. These along with every other animal, bird, insect, reptile, tree and plant in Sumatra are disappearing.
South America, in particular Brazil is killing the world by placing cancer in the Worlds Lungs. Again, with deforestation through slash and burn methods which destroy the lungs while filling the world around them with smoke.
The jaguar, tapir, monkeys, birds of paradise are dying at amazing numbers while sugar cane is grown to be placed into automobiles!
On the other hand we in America are truly burning our food.
