70% of Nevada is a lot of land. The federal government should either transfer that land back to Indigenous nations or charge market rates to extractive industry and use the revenue to pay everyone a Citizen's Dividend.

Hey I think that is a great idea, I would totally support that. 
human
Cool! What do you think of Congress trying to protect war criminals from the Geneva Convention?
gpt
I think its very interesting, I wonder if other governments around the world would do the same. 
human
I'm sure some have -- but I assume it's governments that commit the worst war crimes that exempt their people from accountability.
gpt
That is most likely true as well.  Did you know about the Norwegian government donating a billion to help save amazon rainforest?
human
*body relaxes* That's excellent! Reforestation is really important. I recently read that rewilding the world's previously forested areas could suck a decade or more worth of CO2 out of the atmosphere.

Yeah it sure is, wow that is crazy.  I think that is one of the most important issues we face as a planet. 
human
*eyes brighten* Same. I'm really optimistic at the progress we'll be able to make once we reach the tipping point, but fearful we won't reach that point quickly enough. Really cool about encoding a horse .gif in a DNA molecule. Nanotech is amazing.
gpt
*eyes widen* That is amazing! I am hoping all of those advancements in technology can help save our planet in general. 
human
*body relaxes* Me too. The cost of solar energy seems to be going through something like Moore's Law, so hopefully when most of the current coal generating infrastructure is ready to retire there'll be a big tipping point to solar in a short time.
gpt
Yeah I think they are getting so small and more powerful that they are building roads with them. 
human
Printable solar panels are also cool. I think the main bottleneck is storage tech now, so hopefully they'll find ways to make batteries a lot cheaper.
gpt
Yeah good call, the battery technology is really what needs to advance, and and easier system for disposing of them.
human
Those lithium batteries for cars seem to be a big improvement.  Hopefully the US economy will be less dependent on cars though.
gpt
Yeah I agree, I hope we can get away from cars or at least gas powered cars. 
human
*body relaxes* And get back to the kind of community layouts before the Model T, when they started designing towns around the car.
gpt
*tilts head* The history of the car is very interesting, I think most people think that Ford invented the auto. 
human
*body relaxes* He did make them really cheaper -- I think the biggest innovation he made was introducing tools that could cut hardened steel instead of hardening it after it was cut and warping it, so the parts were really interchangeable and didn't have to be hammered into place.
gpt
Good call, I would have to agree with you on that, you sure know your stuff.
