Re: [WISPA] OT, just wondering
Here's a page that will show you the generation mix in your area: http://www.epa.gov/cleanenergy/energy-and-you/how-clean.html About 4% comes from oil here in the DC area. Mainly for peaking power plants that need fast-start capability, I would assume.

Re: [WISPA] OT, just wondering
I always love that picture...particularly when they show the whole world. Probably next to no oil went into keeping the lights on. We don't generate much if any of our electricity with oil.
