Approximately US$20 billion (2004 dollars) was spent on the Manhatten

energy development since then.

Does anyone know of a source of reliable estimates of the total R&D
expenditures on nuclear, renewables and fossil fuels since about 1940?


No I don't have that information, but it would be fascinating.
There are a couple of details that may trouble you.
- Are you going to include subsidies as well as outright funding?
- Are you going to include tax breaks as well?
- Are you including private as well as government funding?
