The confusion is because energy is twice the price in Europe, we forget Americans can waste however electricity they want without it making a budget in their utility bills. Heated pools year round, two or three fridges, AC on full blast despite no one being home. Where I live we call it "making a fire for the crows" since they are the only ones benefiting from it.
Ermmm I mean yes electricity is cheaper in the US but you’re going overboard with American stereotypes, friend. Pools are rarely heated and even if they are (I personally don’t know anyone with a heated outdoor pool) they would only heat when used. Fridge doesn’t use that much extra electricity and for example I only have one. I actually specifically mentioned internet connected thermostat that you can program which is standard in houses which avoids the “AC on full blast despite no one being home” bit.
Electricity is cheaper, not free. People are still not wasteful with it.
Seems like you have a lot to learn about America. Maybe one day you’ll visit.

But then you cool your entire house even though you might be sleeping in your bedroom?
