I do, whether it's modeling atmospheric temperatures or forecasting hurricanes. Getting to 1 km resolution is a stunning feat -- and doing it for a fraction of conventional computer costs gets my thumbs up. I suppose it depends whether you think climate research is important.

If practical justification is possible, then it can be cosidered an achievemnt, but like putting people on Mars, or fusion, if there is no benefit, why spend the money?
