Think about it!
An all white web page uses about 74 watts to display, while an all black page uses only 59 watts. Google, gets more than 200 million queries a day. Let's assume each query is displayed for about 10 seconds; that means Google is running for about 550,000 hours every day on one screen or other. Assuming that users run Google in full screen mode, the shift to a black background will save a total of 15 (74-59) watts. That turns into a global savings of 8.3 Megawatt-hours per day, or about 3000 Megawatt-hours a year. This would amount to thousands of dollars a day!
