“We don’t use much oil to produce electricity. Somewhere around one to three percent of our generation is from oil.
We use coal (50%), gas (20%), nuclear (20%) and hydro (7%) to produce electricity.”

Yup. About 2% of oil consumption is for heating, and here are the top five heating oil consuming states (in order): NY, MA, PA, CT and NJ.
