AWS outage 2025 exposes cloud fragility — discover how modular, grid-independent data centers ensure uptime and energy resilience.

Harvard economist Jason Furman just dropped a staggering stat: 92% of U.S. GDP growth in the first half of 2025 came from AI-related data-center spending. Without it? GDP growth would’ve been just 0.1%. That means 4% of the economy (tech infrastructure) carried the other 96%.

That alone adds 1 percentage point to U.S. GDP.More than consumer spending.

In today’s fast-paced digital world, technology solutions depend heavily on a consistent and reliable power supply. Interruptions or fluctuations in power can cause data loss, hardware damage, and costly downtime. Ensuring reliable power systems is essential for businesses and individuals who want to maintain smooth operations and protect their investments. This article explores practical strategies and insights to help you achieve dependable power for your technology needs.

In Boardman, Oregon, a massive Amazon data center rises behind a wall of power lines—a stark image of what’s now unfolding in Florida. State regulators there are facing a pivotal question: who should bear the cost of powering the next wave of data centers—utilities, consumers, or the companies themselves? Florida Power & Light (FPL) has asked to raise base electric rates by nearly $10 billion , one of the largest requests in U.S. history. Embedded in that proposal is a first-
