Liquid Cooling for AI Act of 2025

This bill directs the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to begin a review within 30 days of enactment of liquid cooling systems for data centers used for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing. The review would cover research needs, costs and energy savings, market trends, coolant options, failure risks, waste heat reuse, and recommendations such as whether liquid cooling should be a primary option over air cooling. The Secretary of Energy and GAO would set up a temporary advisory committee of industry experts to help with the review. GAO would report to the Department of Energy and congressional committees within 90 days of enactment, and the Department of Energy would then have 180 days to send Congress its own assessment and research recommendations.
