Dark Search Engines

Apparently, if Google had a black screen, 
taking into account the huge number of page views, 
it would conserve 750 mega watts/hour of energy per year.

In response, a black version of it's search engine was created,
called Blackle
with the exact same functions as the white version,
but with lower energy consumption.

I switched to Blackle. I like the black page with the write writing. Doesn't glare at me as much. But gotta say, I like Googoth really well, too! Now, i have to decide which one to use. :)
