​Join the Bitcoin Policy Institute and Young Voices 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

​Moderated by Sam Raus, David Boaz Resident Writing Fellow at Young Voices.

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

​Is the AI infrastructure boom the foundation of a more abundant future — or a system that requires greater constraint?
