Awesome stuff. There is a whole lotta Nevada and Arizona to dig out. Solar panels on the dirt, house underneath. All you’d need is a big water pipeline from the Pacific Northwest or Canada and you’d be in business…

In areas with wildfires underground houses also make sense if capped with earth, and the vegetation kept under control (perhaps by just putting stones on top of the earth on top of the house). Also in Tornado country, underground houses protect against tornado damage.
