These pie charts illustrated the difference in Electricity sources between the two countries in Europe, France and Germany, in 2009. The Electric
power
was measured in a kilo-watt unit and separated into three types: Nuclear, Renewable, and Conventional Thermal. It had four sources of renewables: hydroelectric, biomass, wind, and solar. The 2009 report revealed that Germany could generate electric
power
of 560 Billion kWh
this
year, and conventional thermal was the main electric resource in
this
country, 59.9% of all types.
However
, the renewable
power
in Germany was 17.4%, which was the lowest in electricity generation. There was a significant change in the green energy supply because biomass and wind energy became the main supply in
this
type, which had 39.3% and 36.9%, respectively.
In contrast
, most of the electricity supplied in France was from Nuclear
power
, which covered over three-quarters of all types,
while
the sustainable supply was 13.7%. Significant information on green energy showed that the hydroelectric type had 80.5% of the renewables section.
In addition
, a few electric
power
sources originated from solar and geothermal sections, approximately lower than 1%.
