Watch CDA President Adam Estelle's powerful testimony to the House Committee on Natural Resources!  In this pivotal moment for American copper, Adam outlines the critical role copper plays in our future and calls for action: permit reform, incentives for smelting & refining, and a scrap export ban. "This is a Sputnik moment for American Copper" #CDA #CopperForTheFuture #CopperPowersProgress

AI may run on chips, but 24/7 performance depends on the infrastructure behind them. In data centers, 75% of copper sits in power distribution, 18% in IT and 7% cooling. From power delivery to cooling, #Copper is mission-critical to AI uptime. #CopperPowersProgress #CDA #Data
