The following charts show the percentage of electricity production by fuel source in France in two years. Report the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

The two pie charts illustrate the proportion of

electricity

generated in the country of France for 1990 and 2010 by five different energies, coal, oil, natural gas, hydro and nuclear

power

.

Overall

, it can be seen that nuclear

power

's total production in 1990 was next to

last

became the majority

power

source in 2010,

while

hydropower was still the minority one.

It is clear that

in 1990, natural gas and coal contributed an identical percentage of

electricity

in France, which make up just over a quarter of the total, 28%.

While

compared with the two dominant

power

resources, oil produced slightly below them with just under a quarter of the total, 22%. The remaining 23% of

power

was composed of nuclear

power

and hydropower with 17% and 6% respectively. Looking into the information for more details, nuclear

power

embraced a boom in generating electrical

power

, and the total proportion of

electricity

produced by nuclear

power

was set to increase by a factor of four, from 17% to almost 68% (67%). In 2010, there were still two fuel sources that produced the same amount of

electricity

,

however

, they were coal and oil with 13%, not coal and natural.

Additionally

, natural gas drastically dropped to just 4% of the fuel source for electrical output and the remaining 2% of

power

was produced using hydropower.
