Where I live in China, we mainly get electricity from coal powered generators, although a huge new nuclear facility coming online sometime soon is apparently going to replace many of the coal powered plants in the province. Our local industrial zone is also powered by a dirty waste incineration plant, which is also going to be replaced by the end of the decade by a new plant using the latest tech to cleanly power most of the city.
I do live in one of the most affluent provinces though, so we can afford to build these new cleaner units. Further inland its pretty much a choice of coal or coal in most areas, although the three gorges dam provides a huge amount of hydro power, while solar has taken off in many small villages in the really way out places.
