@Kicksbuttson The numbers are obvious. NYC emitted about 56.5 million tons of CO2 in one year with 8.4 million people or 6.7 tons/yr/person. Nebraska emitted 52.7 m tons co2/1.9m people for 27 tons/yr/ppl. These are extremes, In general, rural per capita emissions are 20% higher than urban.

OpenAI's GPT-3 embedding API is really affordable for people to experiment. I embedded 220,000 documents for about $80. Just don't make the mistake I did and try to do it all at once, my VM ran out of memory the first time, so I broke it up into 10k docs at a time. :(
