I can only speak about the U.S., but most U.S. electricity is coal-based. Very little petroleum is used in electricity generation, <a href="http://www.eia.doe.gov/bookshelf/brochures/electricityinfocard/elecinfocard2006/elecinfocard.html" rel="nofollow">per the EIA</a>. Unless they're going to start making nuclear-powered cars or something. I’m not sure about it being an oil killer. I can only speak about the U.S., but most U.S. electricity is coal-based.
