I'm not sure yet -- I could change it a little if I gain ownership.
I looked into this for my company. Our IT department seriously looked at changing everyone's homepage to Blackle. I did some tests, and the results were slightly different (not a huge problem). The main problem is that it only really saved money on CRTs. LCD monitors are backlit all the time, and that's the main power drain. It costs no less to display black than to display another colour.
We reckoned it would be greenwash with even less substance than usual, but the main workforce would be upset to see a different browser window there.
There is a significant difference in energy consumption between black and white screens for CRT monitors. CCFL backlit LCD screens are less affected by color because of their constant backlight. However, new monitor technologies such as LED backlit LCDs screens, Plasma screens and OLED screens do not have a constant backlight so we will see larger energy savings with Spoogled as these new monitors replace the old CCFL LCDs. While technology is constantly changing the need to take steps to save energy (even small amounts of energy) is constant.
Just go into your adsense account and setup a custom search... Then buy a domain name and add it to the page of the site you create.... I've setup three sites search only official military content, if done correctly they are very successful...
Blackle, is original... That's great if someone wants to copy the concept and try to gain something from thier idea... but why not come up with you own "original" idea. (example: why not come up with a name and use a certain color for the search site, or a theme like sports...)
