Well, the main question to me is if the cost of running Folding@Home would be better spent my focused organizations/academic institutions.
Using rough calculations of .106 kwH rate (final cost w/ distribution) here in NJ and the PS3 using 200W while folding, that puts the cost at ~.02 an hour and a total of $15.26 of electricity a month.
Is Folding worth $15 a month/$183 a year compared a similar sized contribution to a an effective medical organization (some are much better than others)?
