The Power Hour is a weekly podcast that discusses the day’s most interesting energy and environmental policy issues with top national experts. This week Jack invites Jackie Siebens of Helion, one of the nation’s leading fusion energy companies, to the show for a fascinating conversation about this exciting technology. They discuss how the technology works, how close it is to deployment, why fusion could be the key to solving many energy issues, and whether it makes economic sense. But most importantly, Jackie puts to bed the age-old question of whether fusion is just a few decades away. Without giving away the plot, she makes a compelling argument for fusion being much closer than we think.
You can learn more about Helion here and more about the fusion industry at the Fusion Industry Association here.
As always, you can join the conversation at thepowerhour@heritage.org! Get Jack’s book, Nuclear Revolution, and our documentary about nuclear energy, Powering America. Thank you for listening and please don’t forget to subscribe and help us to spread the word.
