Dumbest Sentence I've Read In A Long Time

In an article from the LA Times regarding a new gym generating its own power:
Boesel doesn't know how much energy the solar arrays and human-powered equipment will produce, but he expects his fitness center to use about half the energy of most gyms its size by providing as much as 40% of its energy needs.
Did I miss something in that sentence?  How do they use half (a.k.a. 50%) of the energy of similarly sized gyms by only providing 40% of their energy needs?!?!

It does say "about half the energy."

That's bullshit. If you're going to put those two figures in the same sentence you need to make them correspond.
