The pie charts depicts significant information about the production of electricity from five different fuel sources in Australia and France between 1980 and 200. Units were measured in total production output.
Overall, total electricity production has increased significantly in both countries over the twenty-year period. Coal has become the dominat source in Austalia, while nuclearpower has emerged as the leading source in France.
In 1980, Austalia produced 100 units of electricity in total. Coal accounted for exactly half of this, at 50 units. By 2000, production has risen to 170 units. Coal has more than doubled to 130 units, making it the largest contributor. In contrast, oil and natural gas has fallen dramatically from 20 units each to only 2 units during this period.
In 1980,France generated 90 units of electricity. Nuclear power supplied only 15 units at that time. By 2000, this figure had surged to 126 units, overtaking all other sources. Total production has doubled to 180 units. Meanwhile, oil, natural gas, and hydropower have remained relatively stable, at around 25 units or less. Coal fell from 25 units in 1980 to the same figure in 2000, but its share of the total became much smaller.
