Actually, your reference [1] states the opposite: Florida's "annual electricity expenditures are 40% more than the U.S. average"... which is caused by air conditioning.

I think you meant to state that Florida's energy (not electricity) expenditures are amongst the lowest in the US.

Sorry, you're right: FL has low energy consumption but high electricity consumption. The point still stands though, it's still better for the environment to live in FL and use air-con than to live in the UK and heat your house through the winter.

This is kind of messed up as it makes global warming cheap to avoid the felt effects
