These companies brought forward smart, specific solutions and even raised important issues we hadn\u2019t fully considered yet. This is exactly why I launched this group: to gather as much information from the experts to help craft an effective legislative framework.\u201d\n\nThe RFI focused on three core pillars:\n\nAmerican Energy Dominance and AI Energy Demands \u2013 Ensuring a reliable, affordable, and sustainable domestic energy supply.\n\nSecuring the Energy Grid \u2013 Strengthening the grid to handle new demand and defend against cyber and physical threats.\n\nStrategic Competition: Outpacing China \u2013 Advancing U.S. leadership in AI and energy innovation.\n\nNext, the AI and Energy Working Group will review all submissions and host a series of roundtables under Chatham House rules. These discussions will bring together policymakers and industry experts from both the supply and demand side to identify practical solutions to powering the future of AI.\n\nRep. Fedorchak established the AI and Energy Working Group earlier this year to be proactive in addressing AI\u2019s impact on U.S. energy policy\u2014with the goal of supporting innovation, securing infrastructure, and maintaining American competitiveness.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T00:49:36Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://fedorchak.house.gov/media/press-releases/fedorchak-applauds-strong-response-ai-and-energy-working-group-rfi"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.8706198316067457, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
