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
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.

AI pushes rack densities to > 600kW, making heat a barrier to uptime. Copper’s thermal conductance prevents failures causing downtime. That’s why 1.4 million tons of copper per year will be the engine of our digital world by 2040. #CDA#CopperPowersProgress#CopperPowersData
Uptime measures data center operational time. To hit Tier 4 reliability (<1hr annual downtime), data centers rely on copper. Its superior conductivity & thermal performance enable 99.999% availability. Reliability is wired in. #CDA#CopperPowersProgress#CopperPowersData
Energy systems are under growing pressure to deliver more - efficiently, reliably & at scale. In #CopperPowersProgress, #CopperPowersEnergy looks at how copper helps enable modern power systems. Follow us to find out more. #CDA#Copper#Energy

AI data centers are becoming high-density power and cooling platforms.
That shift is making copper’s role more focused and more strategic. From power distribution and grounding to busbars, cold plates, heat exchangers, and liquid-cooled systems, copper helps enable the infrastructure behind digital progress.
In CDA's latest Thought Leadership article, Adam Kotrba explores why the future data center will use copper where performance matters most.
