How is oil used for energy/electricity? I get coal and gas, but doesn't oil need to be refined into something else to become useful for energy production? And what's the difference really between energy and electricity?

How do you think factories or furnaces work? Chemistry is a high energy sector, most machines there do not run on electricity.
Or heating your home, hot water, and so on.

Good point but I still don't get how they would use oil and not some oil derivative? Heating, hot water etc. is done with diesel/gas/electricity. Not oil. No?

Maybe oil is just the category overlord for diesel, crude, petroleum and kerosene? Maybe @denlillaapan can clarefiy?
