Empirical evidence suggests otherwise... if there's any humidity.

Sure, if you qualify it with "in this region". You made a bold statement to the effect that swamp coolers and air conditioners are interchangeable technologies, and that swamp coolers are 80% more efficient. You didn't qualify it.

I like having a healthy green lawn, zero-scape is god awful looking IMO. If I was watering it as recommended by the landlord, it'd be brown. I'm making a conscious decision to spend the money to keep it green. Since this is America, I'm also complaining about the cost of my conscious decision, you know like bitching about how much Taco Bell sucks while eating a Burrito Supreme.
