"Humanity's sake" is all nice and good, but if these grid projects are to
achive better success, they should consider some minimal payment, to
compensate for energy usage at least. Nothing is free, and in the end, that
anti cancer drug you help discover (albeit in an extremely minor way) will
be sold to you at hundereds or thousands of dollars a pop if and when you
need it. An alternative is to make such research and end products public
domain and patent free.
