The pie charts compare the amount of electricity production using five different sources of fuel in Australia and France over two separate years.
Overall, it is clear that the total units of electricity production increased noticeably both in Australia and France from 1980 to 2000. Usage of coal increased dramatically in Australia, while nuclear power rose in France.
In 1980, Australia produced 50 unites of electricity by using coal power which rose substantially to 130 units out of 170 units in 2000. By contrast, nuclear energy become an important fuel source in France, rising from just 15 units in 1980 to a massive 126 units in the year of 2000.
In 1980, electricity production by using hydropower and natural gas was equal at 20 units each in Australia but in France it was just 25 units and 5 units respectively. However, in 2000, production of electricity with hydropower increased by 16 units, and usage of natural gas decreased dramatically to just 2 units in Australia, whereas in France, usage of these fuel source to make electricity declined significantly to just 2 units each. It is noticeable that electricity generation by coal remained unchanged in France, both year France produced 25 units of electricity.
