Today, we’re bringing you the best from another KUOW Podcast, Booming. Our power grid is maxing out. We're plugging in electric cars, massive data centers, and heat pumps all at once. And the increasing demand is spiking energy bills. But big tech is betting on a solution straight out of science fiction... Could nuclear fusion fix our growing electricity crisis?
