The line graphs illustrate producing electricity in France over a period of 32 years. It is clear that using nuclear power stayed crucial source of electricty power over the whole given period. Usage of renewables remained negligble source of electricityfrom 1980 to 2012. In 1980, thermal power stations were the main source of electricity production in France, generation about 120 terawatt hours of power. The source of nuclear and hydroelcetic power stations produced just under 75 terawatt of electricty each, while renewables provided less amount of energy. After a year, nuclear power overtook thermal power and became primary source of elctricty. Between 1980 and 2005, nuclear power production hit its peak reaching the highest production of 430 terawatt hours over the period. By contrast, the thermal power prodcution fell to only 50 terawatt and stayed fluctable for the rest of period. Hydroelectric production remained relatively stable, at 50 and 80 terawatt hours, for the whole 32-year period, but renewable electricity production saw only a small rise to approximately 25 terawatt hours by 2012.
