Provide Context on Total Emissions (e.g. Average Car)

The DecarbMyState power plant page does something like this:

That might help people see how big a problem large buildings are, like how Keating is emitting an amount equal to 5,000 cars (24,537 tons of emissions / 4.7 tons per average car).

I'm actually a little torn on this - does saying Crown Hall emitted as much as 6,412 cars really mean much? For larger buildings in particular it's hard to figure out if that's a lot or not (like if 10,000 people work in the building and it emits as much as 5,000 cars, that doesn't sound bad)
