It's harder to cool wet heavy air, that much is true, but it still costs more per unit of energy due to other factors.

These include time of use rates and the fact that higher demand requires providers to use more expensive sources.

Best to live where no AC is required, where fans and/or evaporative coolers work well.

An evaporative cooler would work very well in a dry climate, if you live in one.
