True, but power line transmission loss is still less than the loss of energy required to extract, refine and transport fuel. Those drill rigs, tankers, refineries and trucks etc, all use energy to get the fuel to from the ground to your tank.

How does the coal or oil get to the electric plant? Mining/drilling, trucks, etc. We burn the fuel in our gas cars, the electric car people burn the fuel at the electric plant.
