The two pie charts provide a comparison of energy production in France in 1995 and 2005.
Initially, coal was the dominant energy source, constituting 29.80% of the total energy production in 1995, while gas accounted for 29.63%. However, over the decade, there was a shift in energy production. By 2005, gas had become the primary energy source, increasing to 30.68%, whereas coal showed only a slight increase to 30.93%.
Nuclear and other sources also saw significant increases in their contribution to energy production. Nuclear energy rose from 6.40% in 1995 to 10.10% in 2005, while other sources increased from 4.90% to 9.10% during the same period.
In contrast, the proportion of energy produced from petrol decreased from 31.70% in 1995 to 19.55% in 2005.
Overall, while coal and gas remained the primary energy sources, there was a notable increase in the contribution of nuclear and other sources, along with a decrease in the use of petrol over the ten-year period.
