    While they can it’s unlikely, not all burning of stuff is an explosion, and not all electricity is made with burning stuff.

    If you are charging up your Tesla with a generator, maybe, but where fossil fuels are burned in powerplants it’s incredibly unlikely that it’s an explosion in an internal combustion engine. Generally it’s a big fire that heats water to steam.
