I've never been one for white space. Negative space sure, but white space...meh. Its always nice to see that a personal design aestheic can actually be good for the environment.
The guys over at BLACKLE, a black themed google believe that web pages such as theirs which use dark colored backgrounds used less energy than a site like google which is predomidantly white. If you remember your basic color theory that dicates that black and white are not really colors morever black being the abscense of color/light and white being the complete prescence of color/light, this idea seems to make sense.
Simply put white screens need more energy so precious whitespace that so many of us designers love is actually bad for the environment.
