The pie charts illustrate the percentages of electricity generation by four distinct sources in China and Spain in 2005 and 2015.
Overall
, it is evident that the vast majority of China's energy
was produced from burning coal in both years. Meanwhile, Spain's predominant energy
source shifted from oil
and gas
to renewables over a decade.
In 2005, the share of coal in China accounted for 80%, followed by renewable energy
with 16%. After ten years, the renewables' percentage rose to 25%, paralleled by a slight decline in the use of coal to 76%. In contrast
, the oil
/gas
and nuclear energy
figures remained only diminutive in both years.
In Spain, natural resources were the primary sources for energy
production in 2005; 32% and 30% of the total was generated from oil
/gas
and coal, respectively. Notably, the share of renewable energy
more than doubled from 18% to 37% over a subsequent decade. Conversely
, the 2015 oil
/gas
and coal figures dropped by 9% and 10%, respectively. Meanwhile, the share of nuclear power persisted at 20% over the same period.Submitted by doable on
