Fascinating...Google & Blackle!
When your screen is white - an empty word page, or the Google page, your computer consumes 74 watts, and when its black it consumes only 59 watts. Mark Ontkush wrote an article about the energy saving that would be achieved if Google had a black screen, taking in account the huge number of page views, according to his calculations, 750 mega watts/hour per year would be saved.
Blackle was created by Heap Media to remind us all of the need to take small steps in our everyday lives to save energy.

there has been a lot of discussion about this on the web. Apparently, this is only true for CRTs. LCDs have to block white light to display a black screen and so having a black screen is more power intensive.
