Could Fusion Be the Next Big Energy Breakthrough with Jackie Siebens

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 Power Hour 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 a lot of energy issues, and does it make economic sense.  But most important, Jackie puts to bed the age-old question of whether fusion is just a few decades away.  Not give away the plot, but 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.
