The given pie charts shows data on the electricity production from fuel sources in Australia and in France in 1980 and 2000. As is observed from the pie charts, coal was the main source for electricity production in Australia while France used the Nuclear Power more in recent years to meet their electricity demand.

According the given data, Australia produced 100 units of electricity in 1980 and 170 units in 2000 while the production in France was 90 units and doubled in the year 2000.

In Australia coal was the main source of electricity production and half of the total electricity produced came from coal in 1980. Natural gas and hydro power contributed of producing 20 units of electricity while remaining 10 units was produced from oil. The dependency on coal increased in 2000 for electricity production while oil and natural gases were very minimally used for electricity production. Nuclear power was not used in Australia as source for producing electricity.

On the contrary, In France natural gas and coal together produced half of the electricity in 1980. The use of nuclear power increased significantly in France in 2000 amounting 126 units in this year compared to the 15 units 20 years back.

The charts compare the sources of electricity in Australia and France in the years 1980 and 2000. During these years electricity production almost doubled, rising from 100 units to 170 in Australia, and from 90 to 180 units in France.

In 1980 Australia used coal as the main electricity source (50 units) and the remainder was produced from natural gas, hydro power (each producing 20 units) and oil (which produced only 10 units). By 2000, coal had become the fuel for more than 75% of electricity produced and only hydro power continued to be another significant source supplying approximately 20%.

In contrast, France used coal as a source for only 25 units of electricity in 1980, which was matched by natural gas. The remaining 40 units were produced largely from oil and nuclear power, with hydro power contributing only 5 units. But by 2000 nuclear power, which was not used at all in Australia, had developed into the main source, producing almost 75% of electricity, at 126 units, while coal and oil together produced only 50 units. Other sources were no longer significant.

Overall, it is clear that by 2000 these two countries relied on different principal fuel sources: Australia relied on coal and France on nuclear power.

In Australia, the units of electricity are produced by four different sources. In 1980, coal was the most popular source which produced 50 units of electricity. It is interesting to note that the units of electricity generated by hydro power equaled that by natural gas (20 units). In addition, only 10 units of electricity sourced from oil. Two decades later, the total production had risen to 170 units. Specifically, the data for coal increased sharply to 130 units, and that for hydro power witnessed a similar trend. In contrast, both natural gas and oil rapidly dropped to only 2 units respectively.

In terms of France, in the year of 1980, its electricity was generated by five sources. Natural gas and coal were the most important ones which produced 50 units altogether, representing more than 50% of the total 90 units. It was followed by oil and nuclear power which generated 20 units and 15 units respectively. Only 5 units was made by hydro power. After 20 years, total production soared to 180 units, among which nuclear power amazingly rocketed to 126 units, while coal remained constant. Natural gas and hydro power alike dropped to only 2 units.

In conclusion, over the two decades, the approaches of electricity generation had undergone great changes both in France and in Australia. It is noticeable that coal and hydro power were relatively important in the two countries.
