I'd like to see a reduction in all sources, impractical as that may seem right now. Palm oil extraction, along with soy crops, has led to massive deforestation in many regions which contribute directly to threatening biodiversity and climate change[0].
It seems unrealistic right now to stop using any source of fuel but I don't really see nature waiting for us to figure it all out. So yes.. reducing fuel use in general is good, palm oil based products are easy to avoid and don't need to be so massively subsidized.
