Energy efficient google
Blackle.com is an energy efficient version of google and has saved 5,000,000,000 watts of energy and counting! I recommend making it your homepage because it's proven to have already made a difference. It uses a black screen instead of white because black pixels take less energy to produce on your screen!

I thought using black no longer saved energy on most modern screens, except AMOLED. Is that not right?
Here's a great link to an article that can answer that well.
So I take away from that it's actually quite the opposite. I mean it's a gray area but it appears as our screen technology gets better, so will the effect of blackle on power consumption.
Interesting! Thanks for the info and link.
Great submission, I've seen this before. I wish more websites were at LEAST dark-themed. I really like the deep grays that have been pervasive in media and the internet in recent months. I'm so tired of the white background they're so hard on the eyes. If every webpage had a 'night mode' that would be ideal.
