The
pie charts demonstrate the units of electricity generated by five categories of
fuel resources, which are coal, oil, natural gas, hydro power and nuclear
power, in Australia and France in 1980 and 2000.
As
can be seen from the pie charts of Australia, coal, an increasingly controversial
fossil fuel, occupies a substantial proportion of electricity-production sources
in both 1980 and 2000, with 50 units and 130 units respectively. Hydro power,
ranked the second place, ascends from 20 units in 1980 to 36 units in 2000,
whereas oil and natural gas both drastically dwindle to 2 units, from 20 units
and 10 units respectively.
When
it comes to France, however, there is another picture. In 1980, when the total
production is 90 units, five sorts of sources share a relatively equal proportion
of around 20 units, with an exception of hydro power, which merely takes up 5
units. On the contrary, in the year of 2000, nuclear power soars to 126 units
out of total 180 units’ production, playing the dominant role. The coal and oil
account for 25 units equally, ranking the second, and the remainder, which consists
of hydro power and nuclear power, occupies 2 units respectively.
