The pie charts below show unitsof electricity production by fuel source in Australia and France in 1980 and 2000. 

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The pie charts illustrate quantities of electricity generated by different
fuel
sources in different two countries in two respective years: 1980 and 2000. Looking at an
overall
perspective, it is readily apparent that there was no use of Nuclear
Power
to make electricity in Australia, unlike France. Starting with Australia, the use with the greatest number of
fuel
is Coal in both years, with each making up 50
units
and 130
units
of total production. It was followed by Natural Gas and Hydro
Power
having the same figures of 20
units
, which was double that of Oil in 1980.
Additionally
, the second largest
fuel
source in 2000 was Hydro
Power
, which was almost a quarter of the amount produced by Coal.
Furthermore
, the Natural Gas and Oil in 2000, which consumption is the least, had carried only 2
units
. For France, Coal and Natural Gas, which were the largest sources stood at 25
units
in the late 1900s. In 2000, Nuclear
Power
was the largest electricity output by
fuel
source There was an eightfold increase in the consumption of Nuclear
fuel
from 15
units
in 1990 to 126
units
in 2000. A relatively low figure was observed in Hydro
Power
with their consumption remaining at only 5
units
and 2
units
respectively in 1980 and 2000.
