I'm just sayin' the average $50 ceiling fan is not real efficient. A $180 Brushless DC model might use a third of the power at the same speed. The flat, oar-shaped blades don't help out either. That being said, ceiling fans don't use that much power unless you don't turn them off when you leave the area. A fan not running uses no energy.
