The shock will be from electricity prices, not weather itself. San Diego heat is nothing. Houston and most of the rest of the south are unlivable without constant dehumidification (AC).

With cheap energy, they can always just Add More AC™. Public places in Houston are kept at 68F in July. Look at Dubai where it's even hotter.
