I wanted to let everyone know about Blackle - an energy saving search engine.
How is Blackle saving energy?
Blackle saves energy because the screen is predominantly black.
Blackle searches are powered by Google Custom Search.
In January 2007 a blog post titled Black Google Would Save 750 Megawatt-hours a Year proposed the theory that a black version of the Google search engine would save a fair bit of energy due to the popularity of the search engine.
You can see how much Energy was saved on the site… If Google is your homepage, set Blackle as your homepage instead!

The Carbon Neutral Search Engine also offers black background search using Google Custom Search but offsets a minimum of 100g of CO2 per search.
