>>I would love to know what percentage of our oil consumption is used to generate electricity.<< Current sources of electricity in the U.S.: coal, 52%; nuclear, 20%; natural gas, 16%; hydropower, 7%; and oil, 3%. oasismontana.com Oil is negligible, but if the natural gas were replaced by something else it could then be used to power vehicles. I personally dislike nuclear, but I sense a growing euphoria about it. People will reconsider again after the next major nuclear disaster.
