Black Google
Did you know that a cathode ray tube (CRT) monitor uses about 74 watts to display an all white web page, but only uses 59 watts to display an all black page? Worldwide, about 25 percent of the monitors currently in use are cathode ray tubes, which means that they waste energy displaying white backgrounds. This can add up for sites with a global audience.
Take at look at Google, for instance, which gets about 200 million queries a day. If each query is about 10 seconds, Google is running for about 550,000 hours every day. That's about $75,000/year. from Treehugger
