In the US i think you expect most non-renewables to be natural gas fired plants. As NG is abundant and inexpensive our non-renewables per centage may be higher than the rest of the world that lacks NG.

Which fossil fuel do places like India choose? Coal?

When they have coal, coal is almost certainly chosen. If fuel must be imported can LNG compete with coal?
