Depends where you are; in the western US natural gas and hydro-electric are both fairly common. (Not that gas is a lot superior to coal.) Hydro-electric ditto here in Ontario (hence the electric service being called the "hydro"). Where you are, tho, yes, likely coal. Nuclear even in some places (ew!), although I think (hope?) that's getting less popular.
