Wood is a renewable source of energy. It is obtained by cutting trees. A newly planted sapling usually takes more than 15 years to grow and mature into a tree. Therefore replenishment of cut down trees takes a very long time. Cutting down of trees causes the depletion of forests leading to an imbalance in nature. Due to unsuitable air and the above reasons, usage of wood as a source of energy is not a wise decision.
