The Cost of Power

World domination? George Bush and his thirst for eastern oil? Some sort of evil plot that only James Bond could solve?

Well, you should take the title of this post literally, I really am talking about the cost of power, or to be specific the cost of electricity. I believe that the financial cost of something is also a good indication as to the environmental cost.

So to give you an idea of what costs the most around your home I've done some maths to work out what it costs per year.

Heating (based on 6 months) £191

Showers £73

Making Tea £36.50

Washing Machine £32.76

Cooker £51.10

Watching TV £146

Lighting £109.50

The two things that surprise me the most are how much the lighting costs and that it costs more to make tea than do the washing!
