The pie charts compare the amount of electricity produced from five different sources of fuel in two separate countries.
Overall, it can be seen that total electricity production increased dramatically over the years in both regions. However, the largest amount of electricity was produced from coal in Australia during these years.
To begin with, in Australia, coal was used to produce 50 units of the total production in 1980 and this particular source created 130 units of the subtotal generation in 2000. One-fifth of the total electricity came from both natural gas and hydropower separately and amounted to only 2 units and 36 units by 2000 in the same region, respectively. Whereas, oil produced only 10 units in 1980 and amount decreased to only two percent in 2000.
In terms of France, nuclear power became the most important fuel source by generating 120 units of the total electricity. The amount of electricity created from coal remained the same during these years. Production from oil increased to 25 units from 21 units, a slight increase over the years. While hydropower and nuclear power were less significant in terms of generating electricity.
