The given pie charts illustrates the change in the percentage of energy production by six distinct resources in a particular nation in two year 1985 and 2003.
Overall, the production of energy in Coal, Oil, and Other renewable saw an upward trend throughout the period, meanwhile, Natural gas, Nuclear experienced a reverse trajectory and Hydrogen remained unchanged. Noticeably, Natural gas was the resource producing most energy in both two years.
Looking at the Natural gas, Nuclear and Hydrogen. In 1985, the proportion of energy released from Natural gas accounted for 52%, which was the dominant resource, followed by Nuclear’s 23%. After 18%, despite declining to 39%, Natural gas was still the resource producing the most energy among all categories. Similarly, the figure for Nuclear decreased considerably to just 8% in 2003, whereas with merely 4% in 1985, Hydrogen remained stable during the time frame.
As for the remaining, in 1985, Other renewable resources releasing the least energy with only 1% before rising sharply to 4%, becoming as much as Hydrogen. Assembly, with just 8% in 1985, after 18 years, the percentage of energy for Coal exhibited a significant rise to 22% in 2003. Strikingly, although oil commenced with 13% in 1985, which lower than that of Natural gas, and Nuclear, this figure surged to 23%, becoming the second dominant resource in terms of energy production.
