Considerations for Siting Data Centers on DOE Lands

Introduction

C3 Solutions’ response to the DOE RFI

The Conservative Coalition for Climate Solutions (C3 Solutions) welcomes the opportunity to respond to DOE’s Request for Information on Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure on DOE Lands—6450-01-P, published on April 7, 2025. C3 Solutions is a non-partisan 501(c)(3) think tank focused on accelerating innovation to meet America and the world’s greatest energy and environmental challenges.

Vice President JD Vance recently affirmed that “there is no AI future without energy security and energy dominance,” and the United States must act quickly to secure its competitive advantage in AI dominance through unbridled energy dominance. This RFI is an example of the Department of Energy setting out to do just that.

Artificial intelligence has emerged as a critical component of American national security and offers paths toward profound abundance and prosperity. It is right and good that President Trump and Secretary Wright have focused national attention and resources on building the infrastructure and culture necessary to even further accelerate American leadership in artificial intelligence. This request for information is a welcome call to utilize our great National Laboratories to support artificial intelligence infrastructure

This Clean Energy Company is On Track to Build the World’s First Superhot Geothermal Energy Plant

The fallout in global energy markets from the ongoing conflict in Iran demonstrates the perils of overrelying on a single energy source like oil to meet America’s energy needs. As countries are forced to ration fuel and subsidize energy costs, sustainable alternatives like geothermal power are receiving renewed and well-deserved attention for their ability to deliver reliable, always-on power without the risks of price volatility or supply disruptions.

Critical Minerals Policy Needs Clear Guardrails

Critical minerals have become a marquee issue in Washington over the past several years, driven by growing concern that the United States and its allies depend too heavily on China for materials that are indispensable to both the civilian economy and the defense industry. These minerals and their derivative products are used in semiconductors, electric vehicles, grid infrastructure, advanced electronics, and weapons systems, making reliable access to them a potential national-security issue. Congress has responded with a range of proposals aimed at reducing supply-chain vulnerabilities and expanding access to alternative sources.
