David Kirtley, Co-Founder and CEO, Helion

Helion is building the world's first fusion power plant, and co-founder and CEO David Kirtley is on a mission to improve access to clean energy for a better future. We're inspired by the work that they're doing—in fact, Microsoft recently announced that Helion is going to provide the company fusion power starting in 2028. In this episode, Kevin and David discuss David's early childhood and how he got interested in science, how he got into the field of fusion, his current role at Helion and how the company is building fusion generators to create zero-carbon electricity.
