A big part of my motivation for working on the ‘Where Does My Money Go?‘ (WDMMG) project was to learn more about the cost of the UKs energy system and the cost of mitigating climate change.
It is on the WDMMG project that I learnt about the Country Regional Analysis that HM Treasury publishes yearly to show the parts of the country that have benefit from UK public spending. I’ve separated out the energy infrastructure and climate change components of this report to show energy spending.
You can see the results of my investigation at my Many Eyes account.
Hopefully the cost I generated of £5830,000 for 2008/09 will give a good ball park figure for current spending on climate change and energy infrastructure.
