Is someone good at maths?  I was just wondering if it's possible to
work out how energy consumption has been 'wasted' on the Seti@Home
project?  There's a lot of computers out there that never idle,
continually sucking up electricity and leading to depletion of
various fuel resources.

In fact it'd be interesting to put it into units that can scare people
properly like, how many nuclear power stations does it take to run, or
how many life support machines could be run on the same power...

Should projects like Seti@Home or The Grid be accountable for the
resources that are consumed for their projects?
