Sources & Verified Statements

“Data centers are critical parts of our AI infrastructure, but they can require a lot of energy — contributing to rising utility costs for families. That's why I'm proud to help lead the bipartisan Liquid Cooling for AI Act to put in place a clear strategy that will support new technologies, make our data centers more efficient, and help bring costs back down.”
“With this legislation, we won't have to choose between innovation and affordability.”
