i love black themes..so i will probably use this

 

[Occured]

Can you actually set it as homepage?

Alright, so, most of you use google to search? (I'm guessing), well, if you use www.blackle.com, it IS google, but a kind of environmentally friendly version!

What's Blackle? Simply put, Blackle is Google with a black background. Apparently if Google had a black background color, the world would save over 750 Megawatt hours per year. The reason: computers use less energy to display black than bright white. It takes about 74 watts to display a white page while only 59 watts to display a black page. Although Google will probably never go black, imagine if Google could send this message out to all the people who have Google as their home page. Every time they load they internet they are reminded of pollution and ways to save energy. Google has the power to change the world.
So, why not use this?
PLEASE POST FEEDBACK!

Wrong, wrong, wrong... Another perfect example of how the 'save-the-world' hippies are lying to get our attention.

Blackle will only save AN EXTREMELY SMALL (like... small enough to not be important) amount of energy IF AND ONLY IF you use a CRT monitor.

If you have an LCD screen, don't waste your time.

solar panels can even save you money. if you live in a sunny place in california and you buy a solar panel, in 4-5 years you can pay off the cost of the solar panel and from there its free energy.

Solar panels take so much energy to produce that they have no real benefit.

Mrh, its not a bad idea, but google opposes it...

How exactly will saving power do anything? I think we need to build more energy production methods, so we wont have to worry about power. Not try saving power by using a black background.

Maybe so, but in the long run the are very efficient.
Sorry for the grave dig.

Don't fall for this 'save the environment' crap.

Agreed.

The only way that might possibly slow down the bad things on the environment may be shutting down every single damned factory in China, and so far as we know that isn't going to happen.

For the people who support this: I don't know if you guys know, but even by going to the shops and buying a milk carton you aren't doing yourselves justice. Guess how that milk carton was produced.
