A routine click on a recommended link via the AI overview of my browser on November 18 yielded a glaring “internal server error” (Figure 1) when I clicked on a search-referenced website. The Cloudflare outage disrupted connectivity on various platforms, including ChatGPT, Canva, and X. Undaunted, the cyber community had a memes field day when services were restored, flooding their feeds with humorous outage memes.

On a more serious note, data center and internet outages are no laughing matter, impacting businesses from online shopping to cryptocurrency exchanges. While the November outage at Cloudflare was attributed to configuration errors, another outage two years earlier was due to power failure at one of its data centers in Oregon. Cloudflare is not alone in their outage woes. In fact, power failures outweigh network and IT issues when it comes to disrupting online user experiences.

Data from the 2025 Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey shows that although 50% of data centers experienced at least one impactful outage over the past three years, down from 53% in 2024 (see Figure 2), power issues remain the top cause.

It’s not surprising that just a few years ago, electric vehicles (EVs) were deemed to be the new energy guzzlers of the decade, only to be rapidly overtaken by data centers. From crypto mining to generating “morph my cat to holiday mode” image creation prompts, each click adds strain to the power grid, not forgetting the heat generated.

Why must grid modernization happen sooner than later?

Data centers currently consume almost five times as much electricity as electric vehicles collectively, but both markets are expected to see a rise in demand for power in the coming years. In developed countries, power grids are already feeling the strain from these new energy guzzlers. Grid modernization must happen sooner than later, to buffer the impact of skyrocketing electricity demand from both data centers and the EV market, to ensure the power grid’s resilience, stability and security. Without swift upgrades, older grids are at risk of instability, outages, and bottlenecks as digital infrastructure and EV adoption accelerate.

What does grid modernization entail?

Grid modernization requires a strategic overhaul of legacy power infrastructure at the energy, communications, and operations level, as illustrated in Figure 4. Existing energy infrastructure must be scalable and be able to incorporate and integrate renewable and distributed energy resources (DERs). Bi-directional communication protocols must continue to evolve to enable real-time data exchange between power-generating assets, energy storage systems, and end-user loads.

This transformation demands compliance with rigorous interoperability standards and cybersecurity frameworks to ensure seamless integration across heterogeneous systems, while safeguarding grid reliability and resilience against operational and environmental stresses.

Towards Grid Resilience

Grid modernization can significantly reduce both data center outages and power shortages for EV charging, although the impact will depend on how fast the power infrastructure gets upgraded. The modernized grid will employ advanced sensors, automated controls, and predictive analytics to detect and isolate faults quickly. This will further reduce the number of data center outages due to power issues, and mitigate the dips in power currently plaguing some cities’ EV charging infrastructure. As the world powers on with increasing load demands, our grid energy community must work together to plan, validate, and build a resilient grid.

Keysight can help you with your innovations for this exciting grid transformation. Our design validation and testing solutions cover inverter-based resources (IBRs) and distributed energy resources (DERs), to tools enabling systems integration and deployment, as well as operations.

Multi-stakeholder collaboration is essential for building resilient supply chains – but what does it look like in practice?

In a new article by Sustainable Brands, CARE and partners in the The Hershey Income Accelerator Program (HIAP) in Côte d’Ivoire share insights which demonstrate how strategic partnerships between global brands, NGOs, and farming communities create shared value across the supply chain. From cocoa-producing regions to corporate boardrooms, these collaborations show that when companies invest in producer livelihoods, they strengthen their own supply chain resilience while driving measurable social impact.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — HillFaith, a premier fellowship ministry for the congressional staff community, today highlighted new data suggesting that a significant majority of those working on Capitol Hill do not believe President Donald Trump will pursue a third term in the Oval Office. Despite periodic public speculation and the President’s own hints regarding a 2028 campaign, those closest to the legislative process remain largely unconvinced.

According to the latest CNCT Capitol Pulse survey cited by HillFaith, 63 percent of congressional aides overall responded negatively when asked if they believe the President is serious about seeking a third term. The findings suggest a stark divide between public rhetoric and the private expectations of the staff who manage the daily office, legislative, constituent services, and media communications operations for Members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate.

GOP Skepticism Leads the Way

The survey data indicate that the highest level of doubt exists within the President’s own party. Republican junior policy aides expressed the most profound skepticism, with a staggering 91 percent stating they do not expect a third-term bid. This sentiment was echoed across the rotunda, as 83 percent of Senate Republican aides also answered “No.”

For GOP aides as a whole, the consensus is remarkably firm at 81 percent. Only 8 percent of Republican staffers indicated they truly expect a 2028 run, while 11 percent remained unsure of the President’s intentions.

Democratic Perspectives and Constitutional Realities

Democratic staffers view the prospect with more concern, though the caucus remains split. The survey found that 51 percent of House Democratic aides believe the President will indeed make the effort to stay in power beyond his current term. Across all Democratic offices, roughly 49 percent expect a 2028 campaign, while 17 percent remain undecided on the likelihood of such an event.

HillFaith notes that any serious attempt at a third term would face a significant legal hurdle: the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

“Presidents are limited to two terms by the 22nd Amendment, adopted in 1951,” noted the HillFaith analysis. “That amendment was a direct reaction to President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s four election victories, ensuring that the executive branch maintains a cycle of transition.”

Implications for the Hill

The skepticism among Hill staffers suggests that while the media may focus on the sensational nature of a “third term” narrative, the professional staff tasked with research and advising on policy and governance issues are operating under the assumption of a standard two-term limit. Whether this skepticism stems from a belief in the durability of constitutional norms or an assessment of the current political climate, it points to a Capitol Hill that is largely preparing for a post-Trump era following the conclusion of the current administration in January 2029.

About HillFaith

HillFaith is a non-profit Christian ministry dedicated to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with congressional staffers and providing a forum for discussing the intersection of faith and the unique challenges of personal and professional life on Capitol Hill. Through news and community engagement, HillFaith serves as a bridge between biblical truth and public service in Congress.  Learn more about the organization on their website: https://www.hillfaith.org/
