Sure 80% lower, when you compare running an A/C set at 70F and a swamp cooler that gets the place down to 85F when it's 100F outside.
Compare apples to apples... how much does it cost a swamp cooler to keep a house at 72F all summer long vs. 72F from an A/C. Oh wait... swampers can't do that... not to mention all the added humidity from a swamp cooler that makes it feel warmer inside than it actually is.
Your 80% savings is like comparing my F-250's fuel mileage while towing to a moped. Sure the scooter is 80% cheaper to operate per mile... but it's not exactly towing 6000 lbs very easily.
