The main energy source in 1900 was coal. Coal was used on the railroads, to heat houses, to fuel steamships, to provide mechanical power in factories, and to generate electricity. There was some oil production in the US, but as motor vehicles had only just started to be used, the demand was not much, and of course aviation was unknown.
