I overstated a bit. There are a few, but they are not significant to the power mix. See http://www.energy.ca.gov/reports/2000-11-22_200-00-006.PDF "In the past when gas was unavailable, power plants had the capability to burn fuel oil. They stored over a month s supply of fuel oil in a ready-to-use mode. This, however, is no longer the case. Due to environmental and air quality requirements, only a few of the older power plants in California still have dual-fuel capability."
