The pie charts depict the amount of electricity produced by different types of energy sources in Australia and in France in the years 1980 and 2000. Overall, the total production of electricity grew in both countries. Furthermore, Australia experienced a considerable increase in the units of coal, while in France the same trend happened to nuclear power.
In terms of Australia, the most significant unit in this country was coal, because in 1980 it represented a half of total production of fuels. Moreover, in 2000 this material also remained the most popular and made up 130 units out of 170. In 1980 the second largest proportion was seen for natural gas and hydro power and accounted for 20 units per each. However, in 2000 Natural Gas decreased to 2 units, while Hydro Power rose, showing 36 units.
In France, the amount of fuel sources experienced a more dramatic change. While in 1980 the major production was represented by coal and natural gas, in 2000 nearly 70% of total production was comprised by nuclear power and accounted for 126 units. Nonetheless, the amount of coal remained constant and showed up 25 units.
