The pie charts compare the amount of the electricity produced by fuel source in two European countries in 1980 and 2000.
It is clear that five different fuel sources were utilized in the power stations. Among these sources, coal was the primary producer of electricity in Australia for both years. Moreover, France saw the biggest increase in nuclear power generation.
In 1980, Australia generated a total of 100 units of electricity, while France produced slightly less, at 90 units. However, twenty years later, Australia’s electricity production had increased by 70 units, whereas France’s output had doubled. Consequently, this resulted in France producing more electricity than Australia.
Nuclear energy was never utilized in Australia, whereas it played a pivotal role in France’s energy mix by 2000. The use of hydro power and natural gas decreased, while the production from oil and coal sources remained stable in France. In Australia, there was a significant reduction in the use of oil and natural gas, amounting to just 4 units in 2000.
