The charts give information about comparison of electricity production by fuel source between Australia and France in two different years 1980 and 2000. The production of electricity increased by nearly twice rising from 100 units to 170 in Australia, and from 90 to 180 units in France.
In the 1980s, coal was used as the main source of energy in Australia. In addition, oil, natural gas and hydro power were used. In 1980, the use of coal was 50%, but in 2000 it was more than 75%. In addition, hydro power and other energy resources accounted for about 20% of production.
In contrast, in 1980, France used 25 units of coal and natural gas. The remaining blocks consisted of oil, nuclear power and hydro power. However, nuclear energy, which is not used in Australia, becomes the main source and accounts for about 75% (126 units) of electricity. While coal and oil together produced only 50 units and other sources were no longer important.
In conclusion, until 2000, the two countries used different primary fuel sources: Australia used on coal and France on nuclear power.
