Alibre CEO Blog: Saving 100 petajoules of energy and 14 million metric tons of CO2

Alibre CEO Blog: Saving 100 petajoules of energy and 14 million metric tons of CO2: "It’s estimated that in the United States alone, there are about 158 million ceiling fans installed, annually consuming approximately 150PJ – that's petajoules for those not familiar with the abbreviation. Fans designed with the high-efficiency motors chosen by John can reduce that by about 100PJ, eliminating 14 million metric tons of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere ever year." I thought it was funny that it seems more important to talk about CO2 instead how much $ this saves. He went from 75 watts to 25 watts with the same output. That is significant (but I looking at saving money, I couldn't care less about CO2 emissions).
