Black future = Bright future!!

Ever wondered whether we could save electricity only by selecting carefully the color scheme of a web page?? Think for a minute and you already know how.
Let me explain. It is a fact that an average CRT monitor uses atleast 1/3rd more electricity while displaying a white page than a black one...simply because more number of pixels need to be illuminated. Try n hook up a volt meter and check if you don't believe me. Now considering most major websites like google, microsoft etc all have white based pages.

Goolge recieves over 200 million hits a day. Each hit being 10 seconds long(least i could assume).

Thats 200 X 10 = 2 billion seconds!! 2 billion divided by 3600 = 5555.5 hours. average rate of electricity = Rs 3.5 per watt hour....therefore
3.5X 5555.5= RS19444.4.....which would be approx Rs 12963 if the page was black.

But isn't that for one CRT for 5555.5 hours...for one hour it would be Rs. 3.49 only(white page).

And how many CRT's are we talking about?????....consider 50 million ppl in india using comouters...80% having CRT's that is 6250000 in india alone!!!

6250000 X 3.49 = Rs 218125000 per hour which could have been Rs 7270833 less.
I geuss thats a huge price for just a lil change in color.
Well then im doing my part in saving electricity. Makes me feel a lil better bout my self.
bye bye.
