GOOGLE POWER SAVING EDITION

[Berzerk]

This is pretty old news, but still very relevant.....full site is here http://dskc.wordpress.com/2007/08/06/save-power-by-using-google-in-black/

Would like to bring this to your attention that, while searching at Google you could save some energy. Would you like to know ?How??, read further, not interested !!! Just Move on to next message.

Consider that you query at Google.com (with White background as it is by default). And white pixels as full background will consume 74 watts. You seek some info at Google, and the search results remain on your screen for more than 10 seconds.

The statistics from Google states that an approximate hit count for a day is at around 200 Million, that means there are about such huge number of people who are hitting Google by default with White Background. Resulting to consume the energy of 74 watts with every user. For your information on general CRT, the white pixels consume 74 watts, where as the black pixels consume at about 59 watts. So when you calculate mathematically, you would save about 15 watts, when compared to white background with black, causing lots of saving at the radiation from CRTs, Cathode Ray Tubes. But this is not true with LCD Screens, Liquid Crystal Display Screens. The LCDs will consume the same amount of energy when compared to both Black and White.

So, for the fact of figures, if 200 Million people use Black background Google instead of White background, estimate how much power saving??? And one more thing, you might not have all the 200 Million hits from the system that is attached with CRT Screens. When practically speaking, we see more CRT display screens than LCD screens. Hence request you to save energy, as an old saying echo?s in my mind as, ?A penny saved is a penny earned?. In similar, ?Energy saved is Energy Produced?
