Our good friend Mike from Bneeth Communications recently posted an article about Blackle - an energy saving search engine from Google. The concept is simple; Blackle conserves energy by using a black instead of white screen. Recently mentioned in The Wall Street Journal, “If Google went all-black, it could save 750 megawatt-hours of energy a year (a megawatt-hour is one million watt-hours).” Geeks, you can do the math! Wow, even the Internet’s going green.
who knew, thats crazy. STAY GREEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You might want to note that Blackle is just the first page of http://www.searchincolor.com, a site which has offered google search in color since a much longer time. There are other color combinations on searchincolor which are energy saving..in general a dark background with light text will save energy over a standard white background.
