“If Google had a black screen, taking in account the huge number of page views, according to calculations, 750 mega watts / hour per year would be saved.

In response Google created a black version of its search engine, called Blackle, with the exact same functions as the white version, but obviously with lower energy consumption.”

I am not exactly sure if these numbers are right but it is certainly an outside the box idea.

I wonder if more sites will do this in the future. I guess it comes down to style versus energy. I bet Al Gore does all his searches here.
