Earthle.com Launched - Enviro Friendly, Energy Saving Search Engine Powered By Google Custom Search

Earthle.com is a black screen version of Google, the world's most popular search engine. The site was developed to save energy and the earth. If internet users were to use Earthle to search, an estimated 750 Megawatt-hours of energy could be saved.

San Diego, California (PRWEB) May 30, 2007 -- The launch of Earthle is a great example of how tiny changes can help save energy and the earth while having minimal impact on our daily routine. Users are not only enjoying the energy/environmental benefits but many agree that the black screen is much easier on their eyes.

Earthle uses Google search results, so when a user searches using Earthle , the same organic results are returned as if they had used Google. Using Earthle to search will not affect the results to which Google users are accustomed.

Mark Ontkush, a "Green Computing" expert calculated the following:
- CTR Monitors use 74 watts to display and all white page, while an all black page only 59 watts a savings of 15 watts per page.
- Google gets about 200 Million queries a day
- Assume each query is displayed for about 10 seconds which means Google is running for about 550,000 hours each day around the world.
- global savings of 8.3 Megawatt-hours per day, or about 3000 Megawatt-hours a year.
- 25% of world monitors are CTR so a savings of 750 Megawatt-hours a Year.

750 Megawatt-Hours Can Power for an entire year:
77 North American Homes
150 European Homes
268 African Homes
536 Asian or South American Homes
3750 Homes in Afghanistan
6000 Televisions
