Australian energy by fuel type

A line chart

The chart shows the amount of energy produced from five sources — coal, oil, uranium, gas and renewable sources — in Australia, from 1977 to 2013, in Petajoules (1015 Joules). Each line represents an energy source.

Hover over the labels at the right to highlight the respective line. Hover over the lines to see more details.


Line charts are good for comparing values among different groups, in this case among different energy sources, in a time series.
