Hey everyone, welcome to this week’s release of the Watts & Blocks Podcast, powered by Giga Energy.

This week on the show I had the pleasure of sitting down with Tom Mapes, the Founder & President of the Digital Energy Council. And man did we have an incredible conversation, all I can really say is guys you need to listen to the whole episode because there is a lot of great info to pick up on and all of it is geared towards helping the industry from a legislative perspective.

We talk all things power and mining at the capital hill and Tom goes over topics why politicians dismiss the Christmas lights argument and we get into are there any bills currently that are keeping Tom up at night?

Like I said, listen to the whole thing, Tom is doing great work on behalf of the bitcoin mining industry and tackling policy from the energy side, which you all know is my angle on this as well. And so I hope that you all enjoy todays discussion with Tom Mapes!
