The pie charts compare the percentage of electricity produced from different sources in Australia and France in two years, 1980 and 2000.
Overall, the total electricity production in both countries increased over that period. While coal was the most vital source to generate energy in Australia, most electricity in France in 2000 was from nuclear power.
In Australia, 100 units of electricity was produced in 1980, a half of which was from coal. Natural gas and Hydropower were responsible for the production of equal amounts of electricity, with 20 units, being double the figure for oil. After two decades, the total production of electricity increased to 170 units, and coal still kept the top position, at 130 units while the other figures were trivial.
In France, less electricity was created than in Australia, at 90 units in 1980, and the quantities of it generated from natural gas or coal were equal, at 25 units, compared to 20 units produced from oil. From that time to 2000, nuclear power became much more popular, which was used to produce 126 out of 180 units in the total production.
