About The Event

On Tuesday, May 12, join the Bitcoin Policy Institute and Young Voices at Power Grab: AI’s Biggest Bet or America’s Biggest Bill? for an evening of discussion and debate on the future of data centers, energy policy, and economic growth.

​The evening will begin with drinks, food, and informal networking, followed by brief opening remarks and a live, moderated debate between:

  • Christian Britschgi, Reporter at Reason Magazine, arguing that data centers are vital, low-impact infrastructure that should be allowed to scale with fewer barriers

  • Mark Moran, U.S. Senate candidate in Virginia, advocating for taxing data center expansion to address its broader economic and social costs

​The conversation will be followed by additional time for drinks, food, and continued discussion.
