Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that evaporative coolers are cheaper to run than air conditioners?

Yes. A reference article reports field data showing evaporative coolers use roughly 75% less power than conventional air conditioners, and the Department of Energy states they use about one-quarter the energy. Other sources describe evaporative cooling as energy-efficient, though without cost figures.
