The pie charts illustrate the proportion of energy produced from five different sources in France in the years 1995 and 2005.
Overall, it is clear that gas and coal remained the two dominant sources of energy in both years, while the contribution of nuclear and other energy sources increased slightly. Petroleum, on the other hand, experienced a noticeable decline over the 10-year period.
In 1995, coal accounted for the largest share of energy production, making up 29.80%, followed closely by gas at 29.63%. Petroleum was also a major source, contributing 29.27%. In contrast, nuclear and other sources provided only 6.40% and 4.90%, respectively.
By 2005, coal remained the leading energy source with a slightly increased share of 30.93%. Gas production also rose to 30.31%. However, petroleum’s share dropped significantly to 19.55%. Nuclear energy saw a moderate increase, reaching 10.10%, and other sources rose to 9.10%.
In summary, while coal and gas maintained their positions as the primary energy producers, nuclear and other sources gained more importance in 2005. Petroleum saw the most significant reduction during the.
