Why is the use of wood as a fuel not advisable although wood is a renewable source of energy?
Answer
Although wood, obtained from trees, is also considered a renewable source of energy, trees usually takes more than 15 years to grow fully, therefore, renewable of wood as source of energy takes a long time.
Further, cutting of trees on a large scale causes depletion of forests which results in global warming and environmental imbalance. Hence, use of wood as a source of energy must be avoided
