Probably all the US treehuggers ignore this but yesterday there was an international call for a five - minute amnesia to salvage some watts and call attention to the staggering vim use on the planet . Too footling you say ? essay Blackle , a non - prescribed version of Google , which take to have saved 307,326 Watt hours by using a disastrous background rather of the classic whiteness . Anything that may save some centime from my Federal Reserve note and minutes from my monitor life is welcome , but is this real ?
Since there are all variety of video display technologies and sizes out there it will be passing hard to measure the savings that this variety of trick may give you . Since most liquid crystal display use lamps that are always on , you probably will be saving a lot more energy by reducing the brightness of your monitor . Probably this will change with LED - backlighting . What do you think ? Could this be a real rescuer or just cockamamie ? [ Blackle ]
