The pie charts illustrate the percentage of different types of energy produced in France in two separate years.
Overall, it is clear that there was a downward trend in the proportion of petrol production in France, while the remaining energies displayed an opposite trend during this period. In addition, France depended heavily on fossil fuels in both years.
Fossil fuels, including coal, gas, and petrol, were the main sources in France from 1995 to 2005. In 1995, the percentages of these energies were similar, with 29.8% for coal, 29.63% for gas, and 29.27% for petrol. While there was a slight increase to 30.93% and 30.31% in the corresponding figures for coal and gas, petrol witnessed a drop to 19.55% in both years. Despite these changes, the ranking of main sources remained the same: coal topped the list, followed closely by gas, and petrol ranked third.
In terms of minor sources, including nuclear power, and others, the proportions of these energies generated in France were 6.4% for nuclear power, and 4.9% for others in 1995, for each. Over the following ten years, the percentages of these minor sources nearly doubled to 10.1% in the former and 9.1% in the latter. In spite of significant growth, these energies were still minor sources compared to other sources in France.
