The given pie charts compare the various types of energy production in France for the years 1995 and 2005.
Overall, Coal and Gas remained the backbone of France’s energy production in both years. However, the reliance on Petro declined sharply, while Nuclear and Other renewable sources gained prominence.
In 1995, Coal and Gas contributed 29.80% and 29.63% respectively, signaling the major energy source of France. Whilst Petro followed closely, accounting for 29.27%, nuclear energy and Other sources were significantly less prominent, contributing 6.40% and 4.90% respectively.
By 2005, the distribution had shifted somewhat. Coal and Gas remained major contributors, with Coal decreasing slightly to 28.80% and Gas increasing marginally to 30.31%. Notably, the share of Petro experienced a significant reduction, dropping to 19.55% from 29.27%. Conversely, Nuclear energy saw a substantial increase, rising to 10.10%, while Other sources also grew, making up 9.10% of the energy production.
