The data displays the rate of renewable energy with regards to the total energy generation in four different nations between 1997 and 2010.
A preliminary inspection reveals that Iceland more prioritized using natural resources to produce electricity compared to remaining countries in the chart, while the opposite was true for Australia and Sweden. Remarkably, the figure for Sweden and Iceland underwent an upward trend while the two other states declined.
The data for Australia stood at nearly 10% in 1997 before falling steadily, reaching the bottom of the chart at below 5% in the final year. Likewise, despite an increase in 2000, Turkey’s statistics saw a sharp drop from about 38% in 1997 to 32% in 2010.
Conversely, in 1997, almost half of the total energy yielded in Iceland came from renewable sources, this figure continued to rise throughout the period, reaching a high point of precisely 70% in 2010. By contrast, in the initial year, only around 5% of the entire electricity production in Sweden was renewable, which was minuscule compared to Iceland. However, this figure gradually climb the ladder, achieving roughly 7% then 9% in 2000 and 2010 respectively.
