Of those two, the latter is now hanging by a thread, and only doing that well because of such funding.
Okay, ignoring Dan's insane and R&P-diving-into opinions, the amount of energy you use on folding on one computer can't even come close to the amount of energy used in transporting yourself and your goods, or on your A/C, etc.
And we need to go nuclear anyway, so why worry about power?
