The two pie charts compare the proportion of energy consumption by various sources in the UK in two different years.
Overall, fossil fuels (coal, gas, and oil) accounted for the majority of energy use in both years, although their shares changed slightly, while renewable and alternative sources remained relatively small but showed some increase.
In the first year, coal was the dominant source, making up the largest portion of total energy consumption, followed by gas and oil. By contrast, nuclear power and renewable energy contributed much smaller shares. In the later year, however, the reliance on coal declined noticeably, while gas became more prominent, overtaking coal as the leading source. Oil remained relatively stable across the two periods.
As for alternative energy sources, nuclear energy and renewables both recorded growth, though their overall contribution still represented only a minor share compared to fossil fuels. This indicates a gradual but limited shift towards cleaner energy in the UK’s consumption pattern.
In summary, while fossil fuels continued to dominate energy use in the UK in both years, the trend moved away from coal towards gas and renewables, reflecting a slight diversification of energy sources.
