I think Taco Bell is actually one of the safer fast food restaurants because almost everything they serve other than lettuce is pre-cooked and shipped sterilized and sealed. They should probably just start gamma-irradiating the lettuce.

What else can they really do? There's roughly zero surplus hydropower sitting around waiting for a customer, and everything else has a lead time of double digit years or is even worse in terms of nuisance (E.g., massive diesel gensets).

Typically the local tax revenue is via property tax, to which the end usage of the datacenter is irrelevant. It's assessed based on the fair-market value of the land and improvements.

Hmm. A palatial botanical conservatory with orchids in the dead of northern winter at least sounds like a civic use of waste heat. Maybe Milwaukee should relocate the Mitchell Park Domes to Mount Pleasant?

You could easily find a local church and donate to their benevolence fund, or similar targeted fund. These are often very efficient, usually run by volunteers who donate their time to allocate funds to where they will offer real help to those who need it. But it does violate the EA precept of non-locality: a benevolence fund is much more likely to help someone local with a utility bill than save a few children on the other side of the planet.

As a Wisconsin resident I'm obligated to tout the virtues of the brandy old-fashioned, but since it's already obvious I will raise awareness of the Brandy Alexander, a delicious brandy drink that also incorporates dairy, for a Midwestern twofer.
It doesn't even have to be bland! Spices are quite inexpensive per flavor unit. You can easily put some white rice in a rice cooker, add a ton of seasoning and frozen vegetables, chicken boullion, even crack in an egg or two, and get a meal that smells amazing, has strong flavor, and costs about $2/person, tops. I think people just generally don't know how to use seasoning and are afraid to experiment, so they just don't use it.
