[Dishonored] IS there any form of power other than whale oil? And if not, why wouldn't they develop a cheaper, more readily available and more stable energy source?

Just got the game, and i didn't notice any power sources other than oil, not even steam or coal.

The setting of Dunwall is on an archipelago, and before their industrial revolution with whale oil, they were a fishing/whaling society. Small island nations really do not have the amount of natural resources such as petroleum or coal available as say land based nations, and the closest continental land mass is Pandyssia, which is thousands of miles of away, plague infested, and filled with angry natives.
