Cheers! For the record 25% of electricity from oil is "insane" for any place that isn't a small island or failing 3rd world country.

Yeah thanks for pointing this out: I'd been confusing energy consumption with electricity generation for a while. Turns out that even countries that I thought were using oil for electricity (e.g. the US) were just using it for transportation / petrochemical.

I guess oil is too valuable to just burn.
