The pie charts show the electricity generated in Germany and France from all sources and renewable in the year 2009. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.
The provided diagrams present the source of power generation in

and France
, and its renewable details, in 2009.

(17.4%). Within the same year, France
transformed 50 billion kWh shy from Germany
at 510 billion kWh. In contrast
to the deutchland, France
used the nuclear to create more than three quarter of its electricity (76%). Furthermore
, France
utilized lesser portions of renewables
(13.7%) and conventional thermal (10.3%).
From renewables
sides, Germany
mostly took advantage of biomass and wind, respectively 39.3% and 36.9%, which were far higher than the other twos: hydroelectric (17.7%) and solar (6.1%). Different to that, hydroelectric contributed to the majority of France
's renewables
energy source at 80.5%, with the last
19.5% were coming from wind (10.5%), biomass (8.1%), and solar (0.9%).Submitted by gurunnevada on
