It is easier to keep warm than to cool down, but surprisingly these cities use less energy than their cold brethren. Also the cooling needs greatly correlate to solar availability so the potential to be very climate friendly is there. Cold northern climates mostly burn gas for heat which very climate unfriendly. In the US cold weather state use the most energy per capita, followed by hot states, and then of course temperate climates use the least.
