Unfortunately in addition to making an almost unreadable search engine they
got their sums wrong.

The energy saving settings on your pc are a good first step. Particularly
switching monitors off instead of using screensavers. On the other hand you
could use some of your spare processing power to help with climate

Subject: [OT] Energy Efficient Search Engine
Thought a few people on this list would appreciate this.
When your screen is white, (such as an empty word page, or the Google
page)
your computer consumes 74 watts, and when its black it consumes only 59
watts. Some dude called Mark Ontkush wrote an article about the energy
saving that would be achieved if Google had a black screen, taking in
account the huge number of page views, according to his calculations, 750
mega watts/hour per year would be saved.
In a response a search engine, called Blackle, with the exact same
functions
as the white Google version, but with lower energy consumption was
created.
Check it out at www.blackle.com
