What percentage of electricity in the US is produced by oil burning power plants?
In 2010, less than 1% of the electricity generated in the US was produced by oil burning power plants. Hawaii and Florida are the states where most of the oil burning power plants are located. This likely is because the the energy source, oil, is cheaper to transport to distant offshore locations than other sources, like gas or coal.
19.3% of electricity in the US was produced by nuclear fission in 2005.
49.7% came from coal-fired power plants, 18.7% from natural gas, 6.5% from hydroelectric, and other minor contributions from other sources.

What is the most common way electricity is produced?
The most common way electricity is produced globally is through the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, and oil in power plants. These power plants use the heat generated from burning these fuels to produce steam, which drives turbines connected to generators to produce electricity.
What is burned to make electricity?
Various fuels such as coal, natural gas, oil, and biomass are burned in power plants to generate electricity. The heat produced from burning these fuels is used to create steam, which then drives turbines to generate electricity.

How energy is produced by burning process?
When a substance is burned, its chemical energy is converted into thermal energy (heat) through a chemical reaction with oxygen in the air. The heat generated by the burning process can then be harnessed to produce electricity or do work, such as in combustion engines or power plants.
