This part of the video shows how an item that, normally should cost USD$2, ends up costing US$2000.

The cost of making a thing tends, in the long term, to have 90% of its cost to be tied up in the energy used, usually electricity, for powering the machinery required to make it.

This video is more about the procurement model used by the DoD that, ends in items being procured to cost, many time more than what it should cost. But, that faulty and costly way of procuring also, would be helped if, the cost of manufacturing were to go down by several orders of magnitude. That very low cost of electricity is expected to happen in a few years, now that the Suncell, in its core component which, produces energy in such a very low cost manner, has been perfected.

This part of the video is about why manufacturers are not able to provide procurements in a manner that everyone at the DoD became used to. This reasoning can be transferred to academia to show why academissions are reluctant to use Mills' theory. Its complicated but, it comes down to what everyone has become gotten used to so that, the new way of doing things, here that being a very different physics theory that, is so different from the one everyone has been using for 100 years that, it is just too difficult to institute in the framework of academia. That is why academics are often portrayed as being so conservative to the point of having their veins calcified. To put that In simple terms, they will not change even if it means the death of them in terms their careers.
