The pie charts illustrate the units of electricity generated from five fuel sources (Coal, Oil, Natural Gas, Hydro Power, and Nuclear Power) in Australia and France in 1980 and 2000.
In Australia, coal was the dominant source in both 1980 and 2000, accounting for 50 units in 1980 and 130 units in 2000. The total electricity production increased from 100 units to 170 units over the period. Meanwhile, oil and natural gas both decreased, with oil falling from 20 units in 1980 to 2 units in 2000, and natural gas from 10 units to 2 units. Hydro power slightly rose from 20 to 36 units.
In France, nuclear power saw a dramatic increase from 15 units in 1980 to 126 units in 2000, becoming the largest source. Total electricity production also doubled from 90 to 180 units. Other sources, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, either stayed constant or decreased.
Overall, both countries saw increases in total production, but while Australia relied more on coal, France shifted significantly toward nuclear energy by 2000.
