We get imported petroleum from foreign countries. We get 3,654,000,000 lbs. per day and 1,334,623,500,000 lbs. per year which is only about 11% of our energy from petroleum products. 57% is imported and 70% of all oil products are consumed by U.S. mostly for vehicle use. The U.S. spends more than $300 million on oil a year.

When oil is burned for electricity, sulfur dioxide, mercury compounds, and nitrogen oxides are produced. They combine with nitrogen oxides to create ground level ozone’s, commonly known as smog

Conventional steam- oil is burned to heat water to create steam to generate electricity.
Combustion turbine- oil is burned under pressure to produce hot exhausted gases which spin a turbine to generate electricity.

The source of energy power plants use is fossil fuels or oil. The fossil fuel is a crude oil-based petroleum. Oils source of energy is the sun, because it harnesses the rays of energy, after the oil takes the sun’s energy rays, we then convert the energy from the oil causing us to have electricity/energy.

This is what powers oil power plants.
