Wonder how those cheap construction Texas McMansions with the huge foyer and high ceilings will fare. Some of the largest power bills I ever had were from when I lived in Texas, and that was in a pretty small place.
use (ceiling) fans & turn the AC down. way down. heat rises. make the high ceilings work for you not against you. just like they did in the 1920's.
Honest question: doesn't a ceiling fan blow the hot air back down around the house?
They are reversible so you can change the direction... which I should do right now!
Yes, but more importantly they move the air around you. The air won't be cooler, but will feel cooler.

logical fallacy..
I just saw a YT clip about how the 25 y/o McMansions are all falling apart.
There's also that privatized power grid that's never been a problem
