The pie chart illustrates the proportion of power production by various energy sources in France from 1990 to 2010.
Overall, the fuel sources include coal, oil, natural gas, hydropower, and nuclear power. I note that coal, natural gas, and oil each represented over 20% in the initial year. However, by the end of the two-decade period, these sources had significantly decreased.
In 1990, coal and natural gas had similar percentages of power production during this period, while nuclear power and oil accounted for approximately 15 to 25%. By 2010, nuclear power surged to 67%, while the percentages of other sources rapidly declined by the end of the period. Notably, hydropower consistently had the lowest percentage each year, hovering around 2%.
In conclusion, coal, oil, and natural gas had the highest percentages in the early years, whereas nuclear power grew to nearly 67% by 2010.
