Very little electrical power is generated by oil products.
And accordingly, very little oil goes to electrical power generation.
Your picture says it better than my #15 !
Thanks.
That doesn't matter. The more electricity we generate, the more petroleum uses we will be able to replace as technology becomes available. The Japanese are pushing the hydrogen cycle because this would allow them to apply their vast nuclear infrastructure to run automobiles.
Windmills won't produce nearly enough power to fill the gap, but let's all agree to build the energy sources we like the best. Let's make it strictly illegal to interfere with ANY power-producing idea that meets industry standards for safety and emissions.
Yes, I know burning coal generates the bulk of electricity in the U.S., but how does that coal get to the power plants? And how many people generally work at a coal-fired power plant? How do they get to/from work everyday?
