MADISON, Wis. — In response to Gov. Tony Evers’ signing of Act 165 creating a sales and use tax exemption for nuclear fusion projects, Greater Madison Chamber of Commerce President Zach Brandon released the following statement:

“As a home to multiple fusion companies, groundbreaking research from UW–Madison and an advanced precision manufacturing sector, Wisconsin is uniquely positioned as a global leader in fusion energy.

“This bipartisan bill will bolster our continued collective work to advance fusion energy development and commercialization in Wisconsin.

“We applaud the legislature and Gov. Evers for reaffirming Wisconsin’s position as a place that creates sustainable solutions to the world’s most complex challenges.”
