The pie chart compare the five different sources of fuel in terms of the amount of electricity they produced in the years 1980 and 2000.
Overall, it is obvious that both the surveyed countries produced more electricity each year during the period of 20 years. Besides, the total amounts of electricity produced were nearly the same in both countries, while dramatic differences can be seen if we look at the specific figures for fuel sources used.
In Australia, coal was used to produce 50 of 100 units in 1980, and this figure increased substantially to 130 of 170 units in 2000. Furthermore, nuclear power became the most important fuel source in French in 2000, producing 75% of the country’s electricity.
Australia depended on hydro power for 25% of its electricity production, while the amount of electricity produced from this category of fuel in French almost halved during the period, to about 2 units in 2000. Moreover, oil remained a crucial fuel resource in French, but its use declined considerably in Australia. Finally, both countries relied on natural gas for their electricity production much more in 1980 than 2000.
