The funding request now advances to the Senate.\n\n\u201cThis investment means faster, more efficient IT equipment for our country and troops. It means lower costs and less grid strain for our country. And it means good-paying jobs for cutting-edge innovators in Delaware,\u201d said Rep. McBride. \u201cI\u2019m proud to have led this commonsense investment to secure a smarter, more sustainable future\u2014and I look forward to continuing to work alongside my colleagues to get it across the finish line.\u201d\n\nChemours\u2019 two-phase immersion cooling system offers a transformative approach to cooling military and civilian data infrastructure. By submerging hardware in a specialized dielectric fluid, this method reduces water use, cuts cooling energy consumption by up to 90%, and shrinks physical data center footprints by as much as 60%.\n\nThe $5 million secured by Rep. McBride would support the development of a dedicated testing lab for evaluating next-generation chip performance, long-term reliability of portable military-grade data centers, and adjacent technologies like direct-to-chip cooling and heat recovery systems.\n\n\u201cChemours is proud to call Delaware home, and we\u2019re grateful to Congresswoman McBride for championing this critical investment in next-generation cooling technology for data centers,\u201d said Gerardo Familiar, President of Advanced Performance Materials at Chemours. \u201cThis funding will accelerate our ability to deliver innovative, energy-efficient solutions that support American competitiveness and national security, reduce environmental impact, and create good-paying jobs in the First State. We look forward to continuing to demonstrate how American innovation and manufacturing can meet the challenges of tomorrow.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis is not just about efficiency, it\u2019s about mission readiness,\u201d Rep. McBride told the Rules Committee in written testimony. \u201cAmerican forces rely on secure, rapid, and resilient data processing. By supporting this amendment, we are investing in a future where our IT infrastructure is faster, and more deployable\u2014without sacrificing performance or sustainability.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T14:40:33Z"]], "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://mcbride.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-mcbride-advances-5-million-delaware-innovation-and-chemours-house"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9687959682196379, "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"}
