we go to electric which is made by the use of oil Very little electricity is made from oil. Much of the petroleum that is used is petroleum coke and residual oil. These are refinery "leftovers" after the gasoline, diesel and other fuels are removed from the crude oil.

I don't know much about how electricity is made around the county but here in Hawaii %99.9 of it is by the use of oil. Thank you for the illustration, it really helps me to understand. Aloha
