Do we have any other ways of producing electricity?

It seems like there are only 2 main methods we use to produce electricity either turning a mechanical shaft to run a generator or a PV cell. Is there not any other way?

Yes there are! Batteries turn chemical energy into electrical energy. There is also the nuclear reactors used in spacecraft such as Voyager 1 which use a process called Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator which turn the heat generated by small nuclear events into electricity, this process can be though of similar to a PV cell in a way.

But this is a very good point you make as neither of these options are suitable for large scale power generation in the order of 100's of Megawatts.

As a fun little fact, we could take the total world annual energy consumption as 150,000 TWh/year and lets round that up to 200,000 to account for some growth. This is the equivalent of just approximately just 1kg/s of Matter/Antimatter annihilation energy. Of course this is just so very far out of our reach.
