Producing energy

The charts show changes in the proportion of energy produced from different resources in a country in 1985 and 2003.

The charts illustrate the percentages of energy generated from various resources in a particular nation in 1985 and 2003. Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that the proportions of natural gas and coal produced grew, while those of nuclear, other renewable energy, and oil declined and that of hydro remained unchanged. In both years examined, fossil fuels accounted for the vast majority of energy production. 

In 1985, oil was by far the most commonly produced energy, constituting a notable 52%, followed by nuclear’s percentage at 22% and natural gas’ at 13%. The figure for coal extracted doubled that of hydro, representing 8% and 4%, respectively. This nation recorded the lowest percentage of other renewable energy generation at a mere 1%. 

After 18 years, despite a decline to 39%, oil continued to remain as the most dominant type of energy. The data for natural gas and coal both witnessed increases, with the latter rising more significantly to 22% and the former to 23%. In addition, nuclear’s percentage plummeted to 8%, whereas other renewable energy’s rose slightly to 4%, equaling the percentage of hydro energy production in both years.
