Google donating 1 billion CPU hours - WCG to apply?

Hello all at WCG!
I just read that google is donating 1 billion CPU hours for scientists and science applications. Maybe WCG could get a share of those?

http://research.google.com/university/exacycle_program.html

Would bring lots of progress to the projects.
