the pie charts below show units of electricity production by fuel source in Australia and France in 1980 and 2000.

The pie charts compare the

units

of

electricity

production

using five different fuels in two separate countries in 1980 and 2000.

Overall

,

Australia

and

France

both had a similar increase in total

production

and an obvious change in each category of fuel used. In the comparison between 1980 and 2000,

Australia

depended virtually on coal to produce

electricity

,

while

nuclear power was used increasingly in

France

to do

this

. Coal took the lion's share of Australian

electricity

production

with 50

units

in 1980 and ballooned to 130

units

in 2000.

In contrast

,

France

's

electricity

production

, which was produced through coal, had stable figures with 25

units

in these two years.

France

saw a sharp increase in the quantity of

electricity

generated by nuclear power, from only 15

units

in 1980 to 126

units

in 2000,

while

Australia

did not use

this

kind of energy source. The figures

natural gas for both nations fell dramatically to 2

Electricity

production

by oil was moderate in these countries in 1980.

However

, in 2000,

Australia

dropped to 2

while
