Inflation Isn't Cooling: The Real Cost of Power, Solar Lies & the Coming Digital Dollar | 07-16-26
Sam Bushman breaks down why "inflation is cooling" is a myth, walking through the flood of new bills modern life demands compared to past generations, the real math behind 100+ years of compounding inflation, and the true cost breakdown of every major electricity source—natural gas, nuclear, coal, wind, and solar. He exposes the misleading "solar topped coal" headline, explains why America's energy future depends on reliability over cheap headlines, and connects it all to the bigger picture: the move away from constitutional currency toward a digital, tokenized economy tied to electricity usage and behavior.
