I'm curious, do you just make this stuff up?
According to US Dept of Energy, the combined nameplate capacity of US generators (both public and private utility, and prime movers) is roughly 1070856.1 megawatts. Granted, most of these are coal (in one form or another).
But here's the breakdown for oil fired generation: Diesel Fuel Oil - 30419.7 MW (Or ~ 2.8% of total) Fuel Oil, Other - 34385.2 MW (Or ~ 3.2% of total) Waste Oil - 99.5 MW (Or ~ 0.009% of total)
Now granted, not all generators (coal, nuclear, wind, whatever) are always online 100% of the time, so these numbers fluctuate at little. Also, some generators are only on during peak times.
And I didn't even include natural gas, propane, or other petroleum based fuels - which would make this analysis even more compelling. But even the (3) fuels mentioned account for roughly 7% of domestic nameplate capacity.
Maybe you don't consider that significant...?? Combined, (and excluding natural gas), it represents about 61% of what we get from nuclear (105559.8). I'd say that's a pretty substantial chunk.
Solar comes in at 404.3 MW by the way. If you like, I can send you the Excel sheet. Or look it up on the Dept of Energy site. Filename: GenY04.xls
Enjoy.
