Black google site to save energy
An all white web page uses about 74 watts to display, while an all black page uses only 59 watts. I thought I would do a little math and see what could be saved by moving a high volume site to the black format.
Take at look at Google, who gets about 200 million queries a day. Let's assume each query is displayed for about 10 seconds; that means Google is running for about 550,000 hours every day on some desktop. Assuming that users run Google in full screen mode, the shift to a black background [on a CRT monitor! mjo] will save a total of 15 (74-59) watts. That turns into a global savings of 8.3 Megawatt-hours per day, or about 3000 Megawatt-hours a year. Now take into account that about 25 percent of the monitors in the world are CRTs, and at 10 cents a kilowatt-hour, that's $75,000, a goodly amount of energy and dollars for changing a few color codes.
Therefore Bloogle is an effort to save this energy by using the exact same search engine powered by google but using a black background. Thus using this Black google helps save energy in this time of energy scarcity.
Please use Bloogle as your home page and help promote the site to make the world a greener place for everyone.

Re: Black google site to save energy
this is no longer valid.
Plasmas used to be suckers for power, but LCDs are different.

Re: Black google site to save energy
Very old news....
And that 74watt for White & 59watt for Black, this thing is only true for CRTs....
LCDs may even use more power for displaying black than white.....
