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

The U.S. has 4,184 data centers, and a single 500MW facility can contain around 20,000 metric tons of copper. At that scale, copper’s importance to 24/7 digital infrastructure is clear. #CopperPowersProgress #CDA #Copper #Data

Grid resilience isn’t just about recovery. It’s about readiness for growth. U.S. power demand could rise 50% by 2050, with capacity increasing up to 90% to keep pace. Copper remains critical to the dependency of the grid as it builds out. #CopperPowersProgress #Copper #Energy

The U.S. grid connects 14,000 power plants, nearly 250,000 miles of high-voltage lines, & 163 million customers. It must perform in real time. Copper helps provide the conductivity, strength, & reliability that resilience depends on. #CopperPowersProgress #Copper #Energy
