Eccentric Power Savings

Under the strong influence of the media and its current propaganda about global warming, i resolved to do something about the situation. Finally when i got some free time (THANKFULLY!!!!), i started digging the internet for ideas on power saving and i came across this web-page that said,

BLACK GOOGLE WOULD SAVE 750 MegaWatt-Hours A YEAR!!!

Huh??????
No really, the article described the fact 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!!! So, after applying a few calcuations, such as how much time an average user views a google page or how many queries does it get in a day, it concluded that if Google were to change to a black screen, then the world would be saving atleast $75000 a year :)


So, wait a minute... Thats not gonna happen is it? NOPE. Atleast, i wouldn't let it happen. :) . I cant imagine my monitor giving me an impression that im doing a graveyard shift at 12 in the afternoon!! HEHE!! Then what?? Well, there is an alternative. It considers the use of a specialized palette, ie the use of a certain set of colors on ur webpage that would use only 4 watts more than an all black monitor. Thats still 11 watts less than conventional screens . Think of the savings!!!

Here's the palette in case ur interested :)
