Yeah. Google are displaying their usual screen but in black with white writing. Pathetic.
Google reached via Firefox is not playing .... so it seems that only Google home page via IE is doing it.

FROM THE TIMES Sept 2007
Symptoms of a hangover include a thumping head, dry mouth, muscle aches, vomiting and sweating.
Characteristically, though, the symptoms improve with time. The only prevention for a hangover is not to drink too much alcohol. However, since many of the symptoms are caused by dehydration induced by alcohol, replacing fluids is important.
A few studies have shown that isotonic sports drinks (which contain small particles of carbohydrate) are among the best ways to speed up recovery from hangovers. The small amounts of body salts (or electrolytes) that they contain enhance fluid absorption in the gut faster than water.

Google were perfectly aware that their black screen made no difference to the electricity consumption on the monitor, they explained that. They were just promoting Earth Hour.
Nothin stupid about promoting the reduction of energy usage.
-
Given the time, effort and ENERGY expended to plan and execute that little promotion, because we all know that no corporation would be able to do it without sundry meetings, teleconferences, systems plans, backups and all related paraphernalia, sundry faffing, rehearsals, trials etc., they probably used more energy than they managed to persuade anyone to save.
-
I believe Google are a little more 'laid back' than other Corporations so my supposition is they probably didn't.
-
But they encourage the use of computers by their very existence

"Today, a young man on acid realised that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves..."

So let's stop all this nonsense about saving energy. ;D
