Iphones run on oil too (and coal, gas, nuclear energy, and various renewable fuels). It's just that giant synchronous generators are more efficient than a million internal combustion engines, so they burn the oil at a central location and pipe it to you over wires in the form of electricity.

It's like asking "how much gas does it take to run the LCD screen on my car stereo?", comparing it to how much electricity a mansion uses and concluding that gas is the old fuddy duddy stick in the mud holding back progress.
