The pie charts demonstrate three different sources of power used in India, Sweden Morocco and Vietnam from 2003 to 2008. Overall, Morocco and Vietnam were countries that didn’t utilize nuclear power at all to generate electricity, whereas for Sweden it was the second most popular source and for India the least used one. Notably, while Morocco and Sweden relied heavily on hydro power for their electricity, deriving most of their energy from this source, India and Vietnam did so from traditional fossil fuels.
Morocco and Vietnam depended on only two sources for electricity generation: fossil fuels and hydro power. While a whopping 95% of electricity was obtained from water power in the former country, the rest was generated by fossil fuels. In the latter country, however, the distribution was more or less equal, with fossil fuels having a slightly higher contribution, at 56% versus 44%.
India and Sweden’s sources were more varied, by comparison. The majority of Indian electricity was generated from burning fossil fuels, at 82%, as opposed to hydro and nuclear sources, accounting for 14 and 4 percent of the total. In Sweden, almost identical proportions of hydro and nuclear power were recorded, at 52% and 44%, with the least preference for fossil fuels (only 4%), as was the case in Morocco.
