Question:

Why isn't oil used for electricity?

I am not recommending it, I am interested in the logistics.

Answer:

I want to say that oil is already used in generating electricity. What with crude oil, bunker oil, gasoline refined from these oils fueling electrical generating machines. Wonder what the question really mean.
It is used for electricity already.
probably because of the price, not much more i can think of
Oil is sometimes used to generate electrical power. Diesel generators are quite common, but they are also getting very expensive to operate. The process has been used for decades. There has to be something else we can use to power our civilization as the oil will not last forevermaybe for the next 50 to 75 years at best. Solar and wind power have come along way, but we still have a long way to go.
