    I'm not a green save the planet hippy or anything like that; however, that much cost and energy - I only hope it's being put to good use and not just super rich bragging rights.

    like with any brand new super computer, typically first use of it is determining Nuclear Fall out... so not really a good initial use for such a system ~_~ but then afterwards yes they tend to do some good things with it.

    Yep, it's definately me causing global warming by using light bulps >.>

    EDIT: I'm also not a believer that we cause global warming since it's a fact of life. I just hate how people say it's our fault :p
