Blackle saves energy IF you use a CRT or a Plasma screen as these require more energy in produce lighter colours and in particular white. HOWEVER, if you use an LCD screen it uses up to 6% more energy to produce black rather than white.
This means that in the case of most modern computers Google itself saves more energy than Blackle does. This is because LCD screens have for many years natively shown white rather than black.

Does Blackle really save energy?
If you have an LCD screen, blackle uses one more watt hour than it does if you have a CAT screen. CAT screens are older and are made of glass. They look like old TVs.however, blackle has saved 2,000,000 watt hours!(Info correct on the Friday the 13of Febuary, 666)It is now the 8th of March and apparently blackle has only saved 1,743,316 watt hours... strange? I think this is funny because in a month (around that) blackle has LOST watt hours!

What is better Google or blackle?
Blackle's Claim"Blackle is a website that utilizes a customized Google search bar. The website asserts that it is exactly like Google except that it uses a black background instead of a light colored background. This first claim is questionable.The second claim is that a computer monitor requires more energy to display a white pixel than a black pixel. This amount of energy is minimal, as admitted by the Blackle authors. They insist that there would be significant energy savings if all the millions of screens that look at Google every day used Blackle instead.Firstly, color is not the only difference between Google and Blackle. Any search through Blackle uses Blackle'sservers before querying Google's servers. That means a little extra bit of bytes being transferred. It's not much, but neither is the energy savings.Secondly, home studies suggest thatLCD monitors have a negligible power savings between displaying dark screens or light screens. I say negligible because the variance from one monitor to another is a wider spread of kilowatt-hours than the savings on any particular monitor."-http://hubpages.com/hub/How-much-power-do-we-save-if-GOOGLE-screen-turns-black-or-grey
