<h3><strong>From Wind to Fusion: Powering a Clean Energy Future</strong></h3>

<p>The transition to clean energy isn&rsquo;t just about reducing carbon&mdash;it&rsquo;s about ensuring the lights stay on.</p>

<p>As the grid becomes more reliant on intermittent power sources like wind and solar, new challenges emerge around reliability, storage, and peak demand. At the same time, breakthrough technologies are advancing faster than ever.</p>

<p>This conversation will dive into:</p>

<ul>
	<li>How utilities are adapting to a coal-free future</li>
	<li>What technologies are filling the reliability gap</li>
	<li>Which carbon-free solutions are coming next (and how soon)</li>
	<li>How Washington's clean energy transition impacts businesses and communities<br />
	&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

<h3><strong>Speakers &amp; Panelists&nbsp;Include:</strong></h3>

<ul>
	<li>Eric Williams, Chief Operating Officer at TerraPower</li>
	<li>Josh Jacobs, VP of&nbsp;Clean Energy Strategy &amp; Planning at Puget Sound Energy</li>
	<li>Tom Bugert, Senior Director of State and Local Affairs at Helion Energy</li>
	<li>Moderated by Councilmember Jay Arnold</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;

<h3><strong>Washington's Energy Future is being shaped right now</strong></h3>

<p>Join us to learn how innovation, infrastructure, and policy are coming together to power a clean, reliable future, and what it means for our region moving forward.</p>
