No oil is used for electrical generation. They switched from oil to coal and now to natural gas. Both 6 oil (bunker C to you old salts) and #2 (which is like gold) has not been used for decades.
Yeah, um ... not quite true. See this.
"Always," "never," "none," "all" ... these are words that too-easily trip up an otherwise-valid argument. Natural gas is indeed catching up to coal (though that's partly a function of currently low nat gas prices), and there is very little (but not zero) oil used for generation these days.
