Jonathan Brightbill Moderates Federalist Society Panel on Cryptocurrency
Webinar
July 30, 2024
On July 30, partner Jonathan Brightbill will moderate The Federalist Society’s webinar discussion on “Crypto, Data Centers, and Climate: A Look at Federal and State Regulation of the Environmental Effects of Bitcoin.”
In January 2024, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) initiated an “emergency collection” of information about the electricity consumption of leading crypto mining companies in the United States. In response to this action, this panel will discuss current litigation, the growth of crypto, Bitcoin mining, and the impact its data centers may be having on electric demand and the environment.
