The pie charts give information about the generation of electricity by energy source in two different countries, namely Australia and France, from 1980 and 2000. Overall, the percentage of oil and natural gas in Australia’s electricity production fell over the period shown, but the reverse occurred for coal and hydro power. It is also clear that the proportion of energy produced using oil increased; however, the reverse occurred for nuclear power, natural gas, hydro power, and coal in France during the same duration.
In 1980, coal was used to generate around 50% of total 100 units. Natural gas and hydro power spent a similar percentage, roughly 20%. The figure for oil was slightly lower than gas and hydropower, at 10%. By contrast, coal reached a peak in 2000 with 130% in total 170 units; however, oil and natural gas also decreased dramatically, roughly 2%. The figure for hydro power rose by 16%.
France depended on coal and natural gas for just under 25% of total 70 units in 1980. But natural gas illustrated a significant decline, at 2% in 2000. One of the necessary sources is nuclear power, used to around 15% in 1980, but after twenty years it became commonly and reached a peak with its 126% in total 110 units. Finally, there was a slight grow in the figure for oil, it increased from 20% to 25% in over the shown period. The percentage of hydro power in producing energy, at 5%, but by 2000 it was shown a bit fell to 2%. On the other hand, coal was standard stable in both figures of years to around 25%.
