AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill directs the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to begin a review within 30 days of liquid cooling systems used by data centers, including those running artificial intelligence. The review would cover research needs, costs and benefits, energy savings, coolant options, failure risks, waste heat reuse, and whether liquid cooling should be a primary option over air cooling. GAO would consult with government, industry, academic, and National Laboratory stakeholders, and would work with a liquid cooling industry organization chosen jointly with the Secretary of Energy. GAO must report its findings to the Secretary of Energy and Congress within 90 days, and the Secretary must send Congress an assessment of that report within 180 days of receiving it.
