Hill energy tech group eyes legislation, bipartisan expansion
The working group — spearheaded by Republican Rep. Julie Fedorchak of North Dakota — is starting to garner lawmaker interest after Fedorchak received nearly 100 responses to a request for information on powering the future of AI.
'We knew there was growing interest in how to meet AI's energy demands, but the depth and breadth of these responses exceeded our expectations,' Fedorchak said.

Chris Murphy Says Trump-Putin Meeting Was a 'Disaster, 'An Embarrassment' For US, Putin 'Got Everything He Wanted'
The summit between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska ended without a ceasefire agreement. The outcome has drawn sharp criticism, particularly from Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), who termed the meeting a 'disaster.' What Happened: The summit, which took place last Tuesday, was centered around a two-and-a-half-hour discussion aimed at reaching a ceasefire deal to halt Russia's ongoing assault on Ukraine. This assault began in February 2022. However, the meeting concluded without any agreement, sparking widespread criticism. Murphy expressed his disapproval on NBC News, calling the summit a 'disaster' and a 'national embarrassment.' During the interview, he claimed that Putin 'got everything he wanted' from the summit, including a photo opportunity and a platform to deny his war crimes. 'The meeting was a disaster. It was an embarrassment for the United States. It was a failure. Putin got everything he wanted. He wanted to be absolved of his war crimes in front of the world. He was invited to the United States. War criminals are not normally invited to the United States of America. He is intentionally murdering civilians, he's kidnapping children, and now he got to stand next to the President of the United States, legitimized in the view of the world,' he said.

He's made that commitment many times before. So yes, there has to be a guarantee that if Putin were to enter Ukraine after a peace settlement, that there would be some force there, a U.S. force, a U.S.-European force there to defend Ukraine,' Murphy added. Despite the unsuccessful summit, further discussions are in the pipeline. Putin has extended an invitation to Trump to visit Moscow. On the other hand, Trump has indicated his intention to arrange a trilateral meeting involving Putin and Ukrainian leader Zelensky. When Newsweek contacted the White House for a comment, there was no response outside of normal business hours on Sunday morning. Why It Matters: The failure to reach a ceasefire deal at the summit is a significant setback in the efforts to resolve the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The criticism from Senator Murphy underscores the perceived inadequacy of the U.S.'s diplomatic approach. The planned future discussions indicate that both sides are still open to dialogue, but the lack of progress so far raises questions about the effectiveness of these talks. The international community will be closely watching the developments in the coming weeks.
