Saving energy with Black Google Search

by humh

Google,  gets about 200 million queries a day. Extrapolating the data a group of cool cats have figured out that wattage can be saved of about  8.3 Megawatt-hours per day, or about 3000 Megawatt-hours a year by altering a few codes and delivering the content in black instead of white. White causes a drain on energy to display on your monitor, whereby black is not going to cost as much or drain the earth’s resources from the use of electrical energy.

Check out Blackle.com to see Google in Black and save a little energy in the world.

As of this writing Blackle has saved 237,747.523 Watt hours – pretty impressive.
