The graphs depict the units of elctricity generated by fuel source in Australia and France in 1980 and 2000. Overall, the production of electricity increased significantly in both countries after 20 years.
In 1980, the number of units of electricity production of Autralia ( 100 units) was 10 units higher than that of France. Coal produced half of the electric units in Australian while both natural gas and hydro power accounted for 20 per cent accordingly of total production. Oil only generated 10 per cent of electricity in Australia, however it produced around 22 per cent production in France, equalling to the total units of electricity manufactured by nuclear power and hydro power. Coal contributed the same number of units to hydro power at 25 units. …show more content…
As can be seen clearly, the electric units by nuclear power underwent a over fourfold to 70 per cent of total figure in France. In contrast, Australia used other resources to manufature electricity except for nuclear power. The majority of electricity units were produced by coal, which inccreased by 26 per cent, followed by the number of units of electricity by hydro power at 21 per cent. The production of oil and natural gas dropped dramactically to 1.5 per cent for each categories. Similarity, these two type of fuel source generated a minority number of electric units in France whereas, the figures of coal and oil both reduced moderately by 14 per
