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

The pie graphs show how the

amount

of

electricity

which was produced from different sources in Australia and France changed in two separate years, 1980 and 2000.

Overall

, it can be seen that the total generation of

electricity

increased in both countries over the period shown, from 100

units

to 170

units

in Australia and 90

units

to 180

units

in France. Looking at the Australian pie charts in more detail,

it is clear that

electricity

production from coal increased from 50

units

in 1980 to 130

units

in 2000, which was the biggest change on the charts.

Similarly

, the

amount

of

electricity

which was generated from hydropower slightly increased from 20

units

to 36

units

. The production of

electricity

from natural gas and oil both decreased, from 20

units

and 10

units

respectively in 1980 to 2

units

in2000

in 2000

. Turning to the second set of pie charts, showing data from France, it is evident that the

amount

of

electricity

which was produced from nuclear power increased the most, from 15

units

in 1980 to 126

units

in 2000.

Electricity

generation from coal remained constant at 25

units

in both years. The production of

electricity

from oil grew slightly from 20

units

to 25

units

. Similar to Australia, the

amount

of

electricity

which was generated from natural gas decreased from 25

units

in 1980 to 2

units

in 2000.
