 Governor Jay Inslee this week visited two nuclear fusion startups that are working on the new energy technology. Helion Energy and Zap Energy, both located in Everett. Helion plans to have a fusion power plant running in Chelan County by 2028. Zap Energy has heated plasma to tens of millions of degrees Celsius, hotter than the sun. The company has received $5 million funding from the federal government for the research.
