This is great for the planet. I am wondering if all of those who own and promote these search engines would be willing to donate all of the proceeds of their engines to green peace? Who is in? This seems like a good place to get it started. You can count me in with hugagoogle, how about you blackle and earthle and whoever else is out there, are you going to take my challenge.

Aswellas reducing emissions important then to offset emissions caused: www.searchgreener.com is a green search engine doing just that. Use it for your daily searching, it gives you Google with reduced emissions and uses funds generated to buy carbon offsets - a carbon neutral search engine to build into your everyday routine.

No energy is saved when using a black background. I prefer using Greenle. http://greenle.info Sad thing : it doesn’t work. No energy is saved when using a black background.

I prefer using Greenle.

Well indeed it does seem to have disappeared. I've contacted Toby Heap who put Blackle together to ask him where his variant of the Google search engine has gone. Blackle where have you gone?

LCD's use the same wattage regardless of what is showing on the screen - given that LCD's are backlit - and in theory draw more current to mask all the light in order to be...black. (the difference in draw is likely so small that it doesn't change the draw at the wall plug - but rather gets regulated by a transister on the circuit board) …um, the savings is only for CRT’s (which are on the decline every day).

Hopefully people will start using this and we can see the energy saved meter take off. Thanks for the mention. Hopefully people will start using this and we can see the energy saved meter take off.
