The charts compare two different conditions of fragments of voltage by power source in Australia and France in 1980 and 2000. Between these years production level was almost doubled, from 100 units to 170 units in Australia and 90 units to 180 units in France.
In 1980, coal used as main electricity power by far and other sources were occupied half of this statistics. By 2000, coal had become more than 75% of production. Hydro power also become moderately just under a half whereas the other ones were a tiny fraction.
By comparison, France used natural gas and coal as a main source hovewer another voltages remained a almost quarter steady. Meanwhile, commencing from 2000 the portion of nuclear power had sharply climbed to 126 units. In 2000, the number of natural gas was the same as Australia and other fountainhead were no longer significant.
Overall, it is clear that these two countries relied on differend principal ignition begetters. Australia relied on coal and France on nuclear power.
